    An inclined plane is a simple machine that allows objects to be moved more easily to higher or lower surfaces than if lifted directly. It works by using a sloping surface with an equal slope to transport items upwards or downwards. The ancient Egyptians used inclined planes to help construct the pyramids by moving massive stones. An example shows a piece of wood being used as an inclined plane to lift a heavy object more easily than lifting it directly.

    SIMPLE MACHINES

    Project by Khaliq Vincent


    Inclined plane
    A simple machine is a basic
    mechanical device used for
    applying a force and doing work
    with very few moving parts.
    What is a simple
    machine? Examples of a simple machines
    include wedges, levers and
    screws
    • One of the most common simple machines is
    an inclined plane . It is essentially a sloping
    surface with an equal slope. It allows us to
    What is an transport items to higher or lower surfaces
    more easily than if we moved the objects
    inclined directly upwards. It is thought that the
    plane ancient Egyptians utilized inclined planes to
    transport massive stones for the construction
    of pyramids.
    This is an
    example of an
    inclined plane
    in use, as you
    can see a
    simple piece of
    wood is used
    to make lifting
    the heavy
    object easier.
