Best Answer

The mechanical advantage is equal to (distance of force applied)/(distance moved). The length of the ramp (I assume that means hypotenuse) is 4.0m, which is the distance over which the force is applied. The distance it is actually moved is the 0.5m up that it is being lifted. So MA = 4.0 / 0.5 = 8.

What is the mechanical advantage for a 2-meter-long lever has an effort arm lenght of 1.6 meters?

4Explanationfor a lever,effort * effort arm = load *load armso by re arranging above equation,load/effort = effort arm/load armNow, as load/effort is called mechanical advantage so,mechanical advantage = effort arm/load armAs total length of rod is 2 m out of which 1.6 m is effort arm so remaining 0.4 m would be load arm. thus on putting values in the above equation, we getmechanical advantage = 1.6/0.4 = 4
