Inclined+Plane

media type="custom" key="8593404"
 * ===An Inclined Plane is a simple machine consisting of a ramp to a higher elevation. The purpose is to provide a longer distance to reach a desired height thus requiring less force needed. A greater force would be needed if moving the load straight up to the desired height through traveling a shorter distance.=== ||

 * <  Work (Effort-Ramp) = Work (Load-Up)

Force (Effort-Ramp) x Distance (Effort-Ramp) = Force (Load-Up) x Distance (Load-Up)

Small Force of Effort on Ramp x Large Distance = Large Force of the Load x Small Distance  ||
