An inclined plane is a surface with a slope. A ramp is an example, as are chutes, hoppers, and funnels. Since cutting blades have sloped surfaces, they are also inclined planes, and so knives, drills, chisels, and plows are examples. The twist of a screw is an inclined plane, including the Archimedes screw used for pumping water, as is the blade of the rotor of a windmill. All of these were in use in the Middle Ages. There are types of inclined planes, such as the airfoil, that were not in use then.
