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.

An inclined plane is a type of simple machine that makes it easier to move object up or downhill.
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).
