Post by: Kristian11x on Mar 24, 2023 A child makes a ramp to push his toy dump truck up to his sandbox. If he uses 5 newtons of force to push the 12-newton truck up the ramp, what is the mechanical advantage of his ramp?

Output Force = Weight of the truck = 12 N Input Force = Force applied by the child = 5 N MA = 12 N/5 N = 2.4 Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the ramp is 2.4. The answer is (a) 2.4. |
