How can you decrease the effort force needed to push a weight to the top of the ramp?

Simply oil the ramp. Although you may not want to, because you will have to push up on an oily ramp, so you will slide down, and so will the crate. --An AP Physics Student Bored in Study Hall

If the effort distance is increased by an inclined plane will the effort force decrease?
actually, the effort force would be decreasing, and the effort distance would be increasing!
How do you decrease the amount of force needed to do work?
Decrease friction.
How can you decrease the effort force needed to push a weight to the top of a ramp?
Lengthen the ramp, decrease the mass of the object, use a machine (e.g., a block and tackle) to pull the weight up the ramp, reduce the friction of the weight against the ramp, move the ramp further from the center of gravity of the earth, submerge the ramp in a liquid...tbere may be more ways but this should give you some ideas to consider.
Tell you about levers and their effort and load?
The load is the weight and the effort is the movment. The effort is the force applied, and load divided by effort is mechanical advantage.
Does your weight increase or decrease on the moon?
Your weight would decrease if you landed on the moon, because the moon's gravitational force is about a sixth of Earth's. That means that your weight would decrease greatly.
How does the position of the fulcrum and the location of the load affect the amount of effort force you must exert to lift the load?
To do this you first have to calculate your ideal mechanical advantage (IMA). The IMA is equal to the effort distance (the distance from the fulcrum to where you will apply the effort) divided by the load distance (the distance from the fulcrum to the load). You can then set your IMA equal to your acutal mechanical advatage (AMA) which assumes 100% efficiency. The AMA is equal to the load force (the weight of what you are lifting) divided by the effort force (the # you are looking for). So, for example, if your IMA is 5 and your load force is 500 lbs: 5=500/effort force. Therefore the effort force would be 100 pounds.
What is the formula for Effort needed?
If you are thinking of Effort as the FORCE required to move an Object, then the formula is: F = M x A, force = Mass x Acceleration If you are thinking of Effort as the amount of WORK done (in Scientific terms), then the formula is: Work = Force x Distance
What pulley system will lift the weight using the least amount of effort force?
balls. =))
What is load force?
The load force is applying a force to move or hold an object that has weight.
How would you describe the effort force?
Effort force is a force used to move an object over distance.Which ball will bounce higher lacrosse ball or tennis ball?Read more: Which_ball_will_bounce_higher_lacrosse_ball_or_tennis_ball
What is the definition of a load of a lever?
Load = the force of the weight of the lever fulcrum = the point of which the lever rests effort = the force you apply to the lever
What is the definition of a load in a lever?
Load = the force of the weight of the lever fulcrum = the point of which the lever rests effort = the force you apply to the lever
