What is the mechanical advantage of a wedge that is 2 inches at its widest part and has sloped side with a length of ten inches?

5

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Width of wedge  = 2inches

Length of sloped side  = 10inches

Unknown:

Mechanical advantage  = ?

Solution:

A wedge is a simple machine used to split devices into two. It is a simple chisel.

The input force is through the width and the output wok done is through the length of the slope.

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to the input force;

           M. A  =

therefore;

              M.A  =  = 5

Mechanical advantage has no unit.

the ratio of the conjugate base to the acid required to attain the desired ph.
