How Can The Mechanical Advantage Of An Inclined Plane Or Ramp Be Increased?
How Can The Mechanical Advantage Of An Inclined Plane Or Ramp Be Increased? The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of an inclined plane is the length of the incline divided by the vertical rise, the so-called run-to-rise ratio. The mechanical advantage increases as the slope of the incline decreases, but then the load will have to
