Question

What is mechanical advantage of inclined plane​

Answer 1

An inclined plane produces a mechanical advantage to decrease the amount of force needed to move an object to a certain height; it also increases the distance the object must move. The object moving up an inclined plane needs to move the entire length of the slope of the plane to move the distance of the height.

Answer 2

In an inclined plane, the formula for mechanical advantage is the length of the slope divided by the height of the inclined plane. where, Mechanical advantage =

height

slopelength

.

Since for a right angle triangle, slope (i.e. hypotenuse ) is always greater than the height (i.e. any side), the mechanical advantage is greater than unity in case of an inclined plane.
