Mechanical Advantage of an Inclined Plane by Dimensions

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, in this case an inclined plane.

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the length divided by the height.

Formula

QuantityVariable["MA", "Unitless"] == QuantityVariable["l", "Length"]/QuantityVariable["h", "Length"]

symbol description physical quantity
MA mechanical advantage "Unitless"
h height "Length"
l length "Length"
