Mass of the object * sine (incline angle) = force down, and parallel to, the slope (kilograms force)
This ratio ( force / mass) remains constant regardless of the objects mass, as long as the incline angle remains the same.

∙ 11y agoFriction. Without it the forces would be the same. With friction, it is possible that you might not have to apply any force at all to keep it in place. Without friction the force to move at a constant speed up the slope is exactly equal to the force needed to hold it in place. This is also true when the angle of the plane is zero (horizontal).

∙ 10y agoThis is basically a trigonometry problem and is totally dependent on the angle of the incline, the coefficient of friction between the surfaces, and the weight of the object. Once all that is known then you use Trigonometry to resolve the right triangle's Hypotenuse made by the Force Vectors found from its weight and SINE of the angle of the incline, and applying the coefficient of friction.

How much force does it take to pull the truck up the inclined plane?
I don't actually know what an inclined plane is. But I know what a truck is.
What do you use less when you pull something up an inclined plane 1 energy 2force 3distance or 4strength?
Distance,You would have to use more energy, force and strength to pull something less distanceif it is up an inclined plane.================================Answer #2:The whole idea of an inclined plane is to give you the ability to raise a load to the sameheight with less force than you'd need if you had to lift it. That's why, if you're smart,you roll a barrel up a ramp instead of lifting it straight up to the dock. In return for usingless force, you have to roll it a longer distance to reach the same height.Energy . . .Same, regardless of how you get it up there. Depends only on the difference in height.Force . . .Less needed if you use an inclined plane. That's why they're useful.Distance . . .More if you use an inclined plane. That's the trade-off.Strength . . .Less required when you use an inclined plane.If you had more strength, you'd just lift it and be done with it.
Does it take less effort to lift the truck or to pull it up the inclined plane?
it is the same
How much force will it take to push or pull the 400 grams aalong an inclined plane?
Not enough information. That would depend on the angle of inclination, the coefficient of friction, and whether you are pushing it up or down the plane. Also on gravity, but that can be assumed to be more or less constant, at about 9.8 N/kg.
How is a propeller an inclined plane?
Propellers of a boat or an aeroplane are literally a continuous inclined planes on an axle. Screws could also be described as an inclined plane on an axle. The work being done, however, is quite different: propellers push or pull a fluid - air or water. As with simple inclined planes, the incline angle is proportional - the greater the slope, generally speaking, the greater the force required to move it through the fluid. Meaning that the propeller is shaped in the form of a Wing which produces lift when it moves through the air. They are not considered a flat plane. However, some wings can be a flat plate design and produce lift.
Why doesn't a box move down a inclined plane?
because the friction involved in the box sliding down has overcome the pull of gravity.
What is the difference between a regular machine and a simple machine?
The kinds of simple machine are: Lever, Inclined Plane, Wheel and Axle, Screw, Wedge, Pulley. Lever is a rigid bar that turns or pivots on a fired point called fulcrum. It is used to push, pull or lift objects using less force. Inclined Plane is a ramp or scope that reduces the force you need to exert in lifting something. Wheel and Axle is a device in which a small wheel is attached at the center of a larger wheel. Screw is a inclined plane wound around a post. Wedge is used to cut, split or divide objects.It is made up of 2 inclined planes put back to back to form a sharp edge. Pulley is used to raise and to lower objects.It is a grooved wheel that turns on an axle and acts as lever, a simple machine which consist of small wheel with groove on a rope.
Is lift on a plane a push or pull force?
it is a push as the wings 'push' the air downwards
Does the mechanical advantage MA depend on the actual mass lifted through the incline?
no the mechanical advantage does not depends on the mass of the object lifted throgh inclined plane because if we increase the mass then we have to increase the force to pull the object up and the ratio will remain same.
What is the force that moves a plane forward?
Thrust. The pull of the propellers, the push of the jet engine, the pull of gravity.
How do you find force on frictionless inclined planed?
You will need angle of inclination and observe the object motion. Force pushing object up inclined plane is force act against gravity, if the object move at acceleration then the force is more than gravity. You will need to transform distance travel to height using trigonometry from known angle of inclination and calculate acceleration against direction of gravity. Add this extra acceleration to gravity and time the mass you get the force. So I was just wondering if you could expand on that or tell me an equation that if I only know the angle, the acceleration that they are pushing the block up at , the force of gravity which most people know (9.81 m/s2) and the mass of the block then i could get kinetic force thx Additional comment 1. Gravity pull down that is mg and incline at angle A 2. Force is on direction of incline plane and against gravity at mg sin(A) 3. At additional acceleration in direction of incline plane e.g. a this excess force is m.a 4. Net force input is m(a+g.sin(A)) if no acceleration observe then it mean a = 0 Thanks
What force is needed to pull a 100 lb weight?
That depends on a variety of circumstances. Mainly:Whether you pull it horizontally or up an inclined surface; in the latter case, you need more force. If you go down an inclined surface, you may even need a force in the opposite direction to stop it.Also, on the coefficient of friction. Assuming a horizontal movement, you can make the force required become quite low - for example, if the object you want to move is on a cart with wheels, or if it rests on a well-lubricated surface.
