A mover loads a 100 kg box into the back of a moving truck by
pushing it up a ramp. The ramp is 4.0 m long and the back of
the truck is 1.5 m high. The mechanical advantage of the ramp
is
(Round to the nearest tenth)

Explanation:The following data were obtained from the question:Mass (m) of box = 100 KgLength (L) of ramp = 4 mHeight (H) of ramp = 1.5 mMechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =? Mechanical advantage of a ramp is simply defined as the ratio of the length of the ramp to the height of the ramp. Mathematically, it is given by:Mechanical Advantage = Lenght / height MA= L/H With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage of the ramp as follow:Length (L) of ramp = 4 mHeight (H) of ramp = 1.5 mMechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?MA = 4/1.5MA = 2.7Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the ramp is 2.7
