The Ideal Mechanical Advantage is 4
Explanation:
The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of a ramp is given by the equation:
[tex]IMA=\frac{L}{h}[/tex]
where:
L is the length of the ramp
h is the height of the ramp
For the ramp in this problem, we have:
L = 6.0 m is the length
h = 1.5 m is the height
Substituting into the equation, we find:
[tex]IMA=\frac{6.0}{1.5}=4[/tex]
Therefore, the IMA is 4. This value represents the maximum possible mechanical advantage of the ramp: in real life, there are friction presents on the ramp, so part of the energy is wasted and the Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) will be less than this value.
