Like any simple machine, it spreads the work over a greater distance. For example, if you want to raise a load five feet, by using a 30° inclined plane, you spread the same work over ten feet, so only half as much force is needed.

It reduces the rate of work needed to lift a load or an object.
The total energy should be the same, inclined plane or direct lift of that object.

inclined plane makes life easier according to the length of the inclined plane.if we use a longer inclined plane,we will use less effort but the distace moved by the effort is greater than the load.but if we use a shorter inclined plane,we need to use more effort but the distance moved by the effort is less than the load.

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.
