What is an inclined plane?

Back

An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted at an angle to help lift or lower objects more easily.

Front

What is the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?

Back

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is doing tasks indirectly and with less effort.

Front
