What is the ideal mechanical advantage of inclined plane?

The ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of the length of the incline to the vertical rise. It is calculated by dividing the length of the ramp by the vertical height of the ramp.


Why does the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can never be less than 1?

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of the length of the inclined plane to the height it lifts a load. Since the length is always greater than the height (unless the inclined plane is vertical), the mechanical advantage is always at least 1.
