As the ramp becomes steeper, both the angle of inclination and the mechanical advantage change, leading to an increase in the efficiency of the system. The AMA (Actual Mechanical Advantage) approaches 1 because the output force is increasingly aligned with the input force due to the reduced effect of friction and gravitational components. Similarly, the IMA (Ideal Mechanical Advantage) also approaches 1 as the ramp's steepness minimizes the distance traveled for a given height gain, reducing the disparity between theoretical and actual performance. Consequently, both AMA and IMA converge to 1 as the ramp steepens, indicating higher efficiency in force application.
