The ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the?
Ideal Mechanical Advantage for an Inclined Plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the height of the incline.
Can a inclined plane have a mechanical advantage of less than 1?
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is equal to length divided by height (l/h). Therefore, if the length is less than than the height, the mechanical advantage would be less than one.
What is the formula used to calculate mechanical advantage?
Mechanical advantage=load/effort
Why is the actual mechanical advantage of an inclined plane alwaysess than the theoretical mechanical advantage?
This is because the actual mechanical advantage is the actual calculation found after dividing the effort force by the output force. Ideal mechanical advantage is what many people would call an estimate. When estimating mechanical advantage, the numbers are always rounded. This makes actual mechanical advantage less.

What is the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?
The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle.
