What is the IMA of a inclined plane 8m long and 2m high?

The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of an inclined plane is calculated by dividing the length of the plane by the height. In this case, the IMA would be 8m (length) divided by 2m (height) which equals an IMA of 4.


Is mechanical advantage the number of times the input force is multiplied by a machine?

it really depends on the machine you are talking about. there are 6 simple machines: the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and the screw. Lever = (distance from fulcrum to effort) divided by (distance from fulcrum to resistance) Wheel and Axle = (diameter of the wheel) divided by (diameter of the axle) Pulleys = the # of pulleys used Inclined Plane and Wedge = (length of slope) divided by (height) Screw = (circumference) divided by (pitch) Hope this helped :)

Is it good to have a high mechanical advantage?

It may be good in some cases. A high mechanical advantage comes at a cost - you need to apply less force, but you need to apply it over a greater distance.
