an inclined olane allows you to lift a heavy load by using greater force over a shorter distance
the input distance is the distance that you push the object up the ramp. this distance allows you to go up how ever far the tallest point of the ramp is. this is the output distance.
By using leverage, it allows you to lift a 1 or 2 ton car. Have you tried lifting a car by hand without a jack? And you DO need to lift the car to change a tire.
a factory lever
A lever is a simple machine that allows mechanical force to be exerted using a varying distance. Typically, the lever allows the use of a smaller force across a greater distance in the place of a larger force over a smaller distance.
A gangplank is also known as an inclined plane it is a flat surface whose endpoints are at different heights. By moving an object up an inclined plane rather than completely vertical, the amount of force required is reduced, at the expense of increasing the distance the object must travel. The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of the length of the sloped surface to the height it spans; this may also be expressed as the cosecant of the angle between the plane and the horizontal. Note that due to the conservation of energy, the same amount of mechanical energy is required to lift a given object by a given distance, except for losses from friction, but the inclined plane allows the same work to be done with a smaller force exerted over a greater distance.
Mechanical Advantage
distance
it reduces the amount of power and distance needed to make it more efficient. ******************************* An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, allows us to roll any wheeled platform (such as a bicycle, a wheelchair, or a car) to a higher or lower elevation, without having to pick it up.
If we have to lift a heavy massive object to a height if we raise it in the vertical direction then the energy that has to be given is to be provided with greater force of course for a shorter distance. ------------------------------ So by using an inclined plane we can reduce the force in an easy bearable way, of course, with the greater distance. THat is why we prefer inclined plane
To shave a bat is to take material off the inner wall of the bat. This allows for a greater flex giving you more distance.
An inclined plane allows an object to be lifted through a vertical distance using less force than is required to lift the object straight up. The shallower the angle of the inclined plane, the less force is required to raise the object. The inclined plane is a very simple machine that offers a mechanical advantage. Although the force needed to raise the object is reduced, the force needs to move through a longer distance. Therefore, it takes the same amount of energy to raise the object . In fact, as there is always an amount of friction, it will actually take more energy to lift that simply lifting it straight up. The most common example of an inclined plane is a ramp used to raise vehicles to a higher level.
