Lubricate the slope with grease (except where you would be walking, of course!), or put the weight on a wheeled trolley. You could also use a pulley system, but that would mean pulling the weight up, rather than pushing.

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
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.
When a person is using maximum weight to push or lift in one effort they are developing?
strength
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
How would the input force needed to push a wheelchair up a ramp change if you increase the height of the ramp but not its lenght?
The effort needed would increase.
What is input effort?
When you push a bow it moves the energy you used to push it is input effort.
What is the primary function of an inclined plane?
The main function of an inclined plane is to decrease the work needed to push an object at an angle uphill.
If the inclined plane is Steeper more is the effort needed to push a load up the plane?
The effort required is directly proportional to the sine of the angle of inclination.Since the sine of an angle increases with increase in angle, therefore the effort required also increases.
Why does the resistance of a conductor increase with its length?
Consider resistance to be like effort needed to push water through a pipe. If you have a longer pipe, you need to put in more effort to push the water through, as it has further to go. Also skinnier pipes, and pipes with more obstructions also require more effort, so have a higher resistance.
How did russia help push the United states into the war?
The Russian Revolution weakened the Allied war effort. Russia pulled out of the war, so the Allies needed help.
How did russia helped push the US into the war?
Russia pulled out of the war, so the Allies needed help. The Russian Revolution weakened the Allied war effort.
