Question

What is the mechanical advantage of a wedge that is 2 inches at its widest part and has a sloped side with a length of 10 inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 inches

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of a wedge (MA) = $\frac{L}{H}$

where:

L = Length of the slope side of the wedge

H = Length of the widest part of wedge surface

Given:

L = 10

H =  2

Therefore MA = $\frac{10 inches }{2inches}$ = % inches
