The box acquires (75 x 2.5) = 187.5 joules of gravitational potential energy.
The efficiency of your effort is (187.5 / 425) = 44.1% (rounded)
-- angle the ramp makes with the ground -- weight of the piano -- height above ground at the top of the ramp -- horizontal distance between the beginning and end of the ramp If the question included any one of these pieces of information, an answer could be calculated. But with only the information given, it can't be.
80%
The theoretical mechanical advantage is the length of the ramp divided by its height. 20/2=10.
- The slope and length of the ramp. - The rolling friction between the tires and the ramp/ground. - The air resistance (which is dependent on the velocity and geometrical shape of the car). - The direction and speed of the wind. - The smoothness of the ground (a rugged surface will slow the car down).
You help a buddy move, and he rents a moving truck. To load or unload the truck, you take the ramp out, attach it to the rear of the truck and let it slope to the ground. The ramp is an inclined plane.
Stand above a ramp and push triangle.

What is the amount of work accomplished by the ramp? - 5000 joules What is the amount of work done by the mover? - 6000 joules What is the efficiency of the ramp? - 83%
Push the cart up the ramp, please.
Reduce the friction of it and the ramp, for example, mounting it on wheels.
A ramp exerts no force, just gravity.
The smoother the surface of a ramp, the greater is the danger of a vehicle slipping and losing traction.A wet, smooth ramp could cause a pedestrian to slip over and be hurt.
