1. If the ramp has a length of 10 and has a mechanical advantage (MA) of 5. Then we need to find the height of the ramp.

Formula:

MA = L / H

Since we already have the mechanical advantage and length, this time we need to find the height.

MA 5 = 10 / h

h = 10 / 5

h = 2 meters

Therefore, the ramp has a length of 10 meters, a height of 2 meters with a mechanical advantage of 5.
