How do you increase the mechanical advantage of a ramp?

Answer (2)

Make the ramp less steep. It'll need to be longer, ofcourse.

To increase the mechanical advantage of a ramp, you can make it longer or decrease its height. A longer ramp creates a shallower angle, requiring less force to move objects up. Additionally, reducing friction on the ramp can also enhance its mechanical advantage.
