  2. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    Example: If the height of a ramp is H = 1 meter and its length is L = 5 meters, then the mechanical advantage is = =, which means that a 20 lb force will lift a 100 lb load. The Liverpool Minard inclined plane has the dimensions 1804 meters by 37.50 meters, which provides a mechanical advantage of

  3. Wheelchair ramp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelchair_ramp

    For example, a 20-inch (510 mm) rise requires a minimum of 20 feet (6.10 m) in length of ramp. Additionally, ADA limits the longest single span of ramp, prior to a rest or turn platform, to 30 feet (9.14 m). [2] [3] Ramps can be as long as needed, but no single run of ramp can exceed 30 feet (9.14 m).

  4. Wheelchair accessible van - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelchair_accessible_van

    An ADA compliant accessible van must meet certain requirements such as; a door height opening of 56" or greater, a ramp width of at least 30" in width, with ramp edges 2" high, and finally a ramp angle of a 6:1 ratio or rise

  5. Mechanical advantage device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage_device

    Two ropes laid down a ramp attached to a raised platform. A barrel is rolled onto the ropes and the ropes are passed over the barrel and handed to two workers at the top of the ramp. The workers pull the ropes together to get the barrel to the top. The barrel is a movable pulley and the MA = 2.

  6. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    as a ratio of one part rise to so many parts run. For example, a slope that has a rise of 5 feet for every 1000 feet of run would have a slope ratio of 1 in 200. (The word "in" is normally used rather than the mathematical ratio notation of "1:200".) This is generally the method used to describe railway grades in Australia and the UK.

  7. Stairs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stairs

    In the UK, stair pitch is the angle the pitch line makes with the horizontal, measured in degrees. The value of the slope, as a ratio, is then the tangent of the pitch angle. Headroom is the height above the nosing of a tread to the ceiling above it. Walkline – for curved stairs, the inner radius of the curve may result in very narrow treads ...
