Question

The question is:
A man pushes a 500-newton load 10 m up a smooth frictionless inclined plane 2 m high.

Calculate the actual mechanical advantage of the inclined plane.

Please help me!!!

Answer 1

try 500x10 then divide by 2

Answer 2

or 500x2 then divide by 10 idk

Answer 3

thanks for your suggestion mcnabkt...

Answer 4

can u do it now ??

Answer 5

welcome and its prob the second one

Answer 6

since its a more reasonable number
