How do you calculate input work of an inclined plane?
how do I calculate the input work of an inclined plane
What is the primary function of an inclined plane?
The main function of an inclined plane is to decrease the work needed to push an object at an angle uphill.
What is a definition of an incline plane?
By the definition, A plane which makes an angle (THETA) with the horizontal is said to be inclined plane. Inclined plane has made lots of work very easy. It's a simple machine.

How does the inclined plane do your works faster and easier?
The reason that inclined planes allow us to reduce the force necessary to move items is because the work required to do both (Work = Force x Distance) is the same. When pushing up an inclined plane, the pusher only has to counteract the component of gravity that wants to slide the object back down the plane, instead of fighting against the entire force of gravity. Using an inclined plane decreases the force necessary to accomplish the task but increases the distance required for force against the vertical component. (An angled plane shortens the distance of travel overall).
