The box acquires (75 x 2.5) = 187.5 joules of gravitational potential energy.
The efficiency of your effort is (187.5 / 425) = 44.1% (rounded)
-- angle the ramp makes with the ground -- weight of the piano -- height above ground at the top of the ramp -- horizontal distance between the beginning and end of the ramp If the question included any one of these pieces of information, an answer could be calculated. But with only the information given, it can't be.

The theoretical mechanical advantage is the length of the ramp divided by its height. 20/2=10.
- The slope and length of the ramp. - The rolling friction between the tires and the ramp/ground. - The air resistance (which is dependent on the velocity and geometrical shape of the car). - The direction and speed of the wind. - The smoothness of the ground (a rugged surface will slow the car down).
You help a buddy move, and he rents a moving truck. To load or unload the truck, you take the ramp out, attach it to the rear of the truck and let it slope to the ground. The ramp is an inclined plane.
Stand above a ramp and push triangle.

Increasing the length of a ramp may increase its efficiency by reducing the steepness of the incline, making it easier to move objects up or down the ramp. A longer ramp provides a gentler slope, requiring less force to overcome gravity.

Push the cart up the ramp, please.
To find the efficiency of a ramp, you would calculate the output work (weight lifted) divided by the input work (force applied). The formula for efficiency is (Output Work/Input Work) x 100%. A more efficient ramp would require less input work to lift a certain weight.
Reduce the friction of it and the ramp, for example, mounting it on wheels.
The amount of effort needed to push a 75-pound weight up a ramp depends on the angle of the ramp, the friction present, and whether any external forces are acting on the weight. Generally, the steeper the ramp, the more effort is required to push the weight up. It can be calculated using the equation: force = weight * sin(angle of the ramp).
The smoother the surface of a ramp, the greater is the danger of a vehicle slipping and losing traction.A wet, smooth ramp could cause a pedestrian to slip over and be hurt.
A ramp exerts no force, just gravity.
