An inclined plane has a ramp length of 4.0 meters and a height of 2.0 meters. What is the IMA of the inclined plane? 0.5 2.0 6.0 8.0

Respuesta :

Length of the ramp (L) = 4.0 m = Distance traveled by the effort

Height of the inclined plane (h) = 2.0 m = Distance traveled by the resistance

IMA = Ideal mechanical advantage

[tex]IMA = \frac{L}{h}[/tex]

[tex]IMA = \frac{4.0}{2.0}[/tex]

IMA = 2.0

Hence, the IMA of the inclined plane is 2.0
