Look at the simple machine shown below and determine the mechanical advantage.
3.0 m
0.3 m

10.0

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage = distance moves along the plane/distance moved along the vertical

distance moves along the vertical = 0.3m

distance moves along the plane = 3.0m

Mechanical Advantage = 3.0/0.3

Mechanical Advantage = 10

Hence the mechanical advantage is 10.0
