Does an inclined plane reduce work?
Yes.
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 an incline plane make work easier but does not increase in force?
An inclined plane makes work easier because it allows for a longer distance over which a force can be applied. By exerting a smaller force over a longer distance, the amount of work required is reduced. However, the force exerted remains the same, as the incline does not change the magnitude of the force needed.
How does an inclined plane change the way work is done?
An incline plane allows less effort (pushing force) to be used to move a weight to a higher level without lifting straight up. You have to push it a longer distance, so ideally, the same amount of work is done, but really, due to friction more work is done. Maybe you can't lift a 500 pound barrel, but you can roll it up an inclined plane into the back of a truck.
How do you calculate input work of an inclined plane?
