   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

   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).

   The maximum value of cant (the height of the outer rail above the inner rail) for a standard gauge railway is approximately 150 mm (6 in). [citation needed] For high-speed railways in Europe, maximum cant is 180 mm (7 in) when slow freight trains are not allowed. [1]
