Answer: 5
Explanation:
The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the formula:
[tex]MA=\frac{L}{h}[/tex]
where L is the length of the slope and h is the height.
In this problem, we have a length of L=10 inches and a height of h=2 inches, so the mechanical advantage is
[tex]MA=\frac{10}{2}=5[/tex]
