You use a wedge that has a width of 2 cm and a slope length of 5.5 cm. what is the mechanical advantage of this wedge?

a. 3.5
b. 2.75
c. 0.36
d. 5.5

Option B. 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question that a wedge has a width of 2 cm and a slope of 5.5 cm.We have to calculate the mechanical advantage of the given wedge.

We know the formula to calculate the mechanical advantage of the wedge

Mechanical advantage = Length of slope/Thickness of the widest end

                                      = 5.5÷2 = 2.75

Therefore the answer is option B. 2.75
