Propellers of a boat or an aeroplane are literally a continuous inclined planes on an axle. Screws could also be described as an inclined plane on an axle. The work being done, however, is quite different: propellers push or pull a fluid - air or water. As with simple inclined planes, the incline angle is proportional - the greater the slope, generally speaking, the greater the force required to move it through the fluid. Meaning that the propeller is shaped in the form of a Wing which produces lift when it moves through the air. They are not considered a flat plane. However, some wings can be a flat plate design and produce lift.

How is a hatchet an inclined plane?
a hatchet is a inclined plane
Why is a ramp a n inclined plane?
A ramp is an inclined plane because an inclined plane is a set of a surface set at an angle that is not a right angle. In which a ramp is an inclined plane!
What does a inclined plane have to do with a screw?
The thread running around the screw is an inclined plane. If you were to straighten it out, it would be an inclined plane. The screw itself can be considered a combination of wedge and inclined plane.
Uses of inclined plane?
an inclined plane can be use as ramp
What inclined plane is the length of the inclined plane plane divide by its height?
The slope of an inclined plane is found by dividing the rise of the plane by the run of the plane. also the ideal mechanical advantage.
