( Assuming mass of object on incline plane is in kilograms (kg) )
.
Force pulling down incline on object (kilogram force)
= object mass * sin (incline angle)
.
Force of object acting on and normal to incline (kilogram force)
= object mass * cos (incline angle)
.
Mechanical Advantage = 1 / ( sin ( incline angle ) )

yes it is
The higher the incline plane, the greater the angle made between the plane and the horizontal. So the plane will be steeper.
An incline plane is a wedge or ramp. When you look at a chisel you'll notice it is wedge shaped at the tip so it can cut. A knife is also an incline plane.
Ideal Mechanical Advantage for an Inclined Plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the height of the incline.
