Best Answer

the mechanical advantage would be 3 because you have to do 6 divided by 2.

Mechanical Advantage = Length of Slope / Height of Slope ( MA = L/H ) so if the Length you refer to is the length of the slope then MA = 6 / 2 = 3.

However, if the length you refer to is the length of the ramp from end to end (rather than measuring the length of the slope) then you first need to calculate the length of the slope using Pythagoras which means the length of the slope is equal to the square root of (6x6)+(2x2) = 6.32. In this case the MA would be 6.32 / 2 = 3.16

See link and scroll down to the diagram. It is pretty obvious that the 12,2 ramp has a greater IMA.

To be fussy, use the Pythagorean theorem to find length12,2 = sqrt(122 + 22) = sqrt(148) =~ 12.2; IMA12,2 =~ 12.2/2 = 6.1.

Length6,2 = sqrt(62 + 22) = sqrt(40) =~ 6.32; IMA6,2 =~ 6.32/2 =~3.2

6.1>3.2, so the 12m ramp has the greater IMA.

The ramps length is twice the height. Mechanical advantage is the length of ramp divide by the height of inclined ramp (2=Length/height).

How do you calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever?

It's 1. IMA = Distance in / Distance out. A single pulley doesn't do anything toward mechanical advantage, it changes the direction of the force. Not always. A single-axeled pulley (the typical pulley) has an IMA of 1, having one axel. If there was a second axel, then the IMA would = 2, so on and so forth. The easy way to do it is IMA = # of axels.

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.
