INCLINED PLANE AND ITS MECHANISM
Sponsored links
You must have seen a sloping surface at the entrance of your home, or in the automobile workshops which is used to lift the heavy objects on the higher place. And that sloping surface is known as inclined plane, so in easy language, we can define the inclined plane as a flat sloping surface which is used to lift heavy object on a higher place whose one end is attached to the ground and second end is attached with the higher surface.
MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE OF INCLINED PLANE :-
The mechanical advantage of inclined plane is always greater than one i.e . it is used to multiply the force. And mechanical advantage is inversely proportional to the angle of inclination. means more is the angle of inclination, lesser will be the mechanical advantage and lesser is the angle of inclination, more is the mechanical advantage.
Thats why, we will get more tired when we move on a steeper hill, than on less steeper hill, it means if we increase the length of the inclined plane, the mechanical advantage will be increase.
