Inclined Plane

Inclined plane
Inclined Plane is a slope ramp which is used to lift the load a gradually by using less effort.It is a force multiplier.


The distance where the load should be taken is length of slope or distance travelled by effort. It is denoted by "l".

The length of height of slope is the distance travelled by load.


VR =         length of slope          
            length of height of slope
      =   l
