    To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane, divide th length of the incline by the height of the incline.

    Therefore; IMA = L/h

    L = 3.0 m, while h = 1.0 m

    IMA = 3/1

    = 3

    Therefore the IMA of the ramp is 3

    This means the ramp increases the force that is being exerted by 3 times.
