1.1.6 Conclusion Questions
I believe that the incline plane was the easiest to determine it's mechanical advantage and drive ratio, because we had set values and the formula was simple. I also believe the pulley was the most difficult, because the formula was more complex. The input was 75 grams and the output was 19.5 because the mechanical advantage was more than 1. To improve the MA of our machine, we could have a longer lever, steeper incline, and more strings for the pulley.
