A mover uses a ramp to load a crate of nails onto a truck. The crate, which must be lifted 1.5 m from the street to the bed of the truck, is pushed along the length of the ramp. If the ramp is 4.5 m long and friction between the ramp and crate can be ignored, what is the mechanical advantage of the ramp?

M.A = 3

Explanation:

A ramp is an example of an inclined plain. Where the

Height H = 1.5 m

Length L = 4.5 m

Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load to effort. While mechanical advantage M.A of an inclined plain is the ratio of the length of the plain to the height of the plain.

M.A = L/H

Substitute the values of L and H into the formula

M.A = 4.5/1.5 = 3

The mechanical advantage of the ramp is 3

c) power lifting, will be your answer.
