Inclined Plane Examples-

When we start our day-to-day life, We usually see Inclined planes but we usually don’t know the
working mechanism behind them. Here, I am going to tell you the working mechanism behind inclined
plane examples with pictures.

And they are…

Railway Ramps

Garbage Dumper

Stairs

Park Sliders

Ambulance Ramp

House Ramp

Stunt Ramps

Roof Tops

Escalator

Wash Basins

Stretcher Ramps

Hill Roads

1. Railway Ramps-

Have you ever seen those slopping ramps on any railway stations?

These slopping ramps are used to freight any heavy goods or bring any handicapped person. These
ramps are inclined from top to down which further helps to make tasks easy and convenient.

As it reduces the applied force with the help of Wheel and Axle supported vehicles.

3. Staircase-
Have you noticed your stairs going from down to up to lift you up to your upper floor?

These stairs are made up of the base of an inclined plane. When your stair started to construct, the Base
of an inclined plane would have been made up first to support your step-making process further.

Otherwise, If you casually notice your stairs, It seems inclined at their angle from top to ground.

5. Ambulance Ramp-

The ambulance ramp is an instrument that is used to help a patient to get into the Ambulance with his
stretcher in case of an emergency or shifting a patient from one location to another.

These ambulance ramps reduce the effort which needs to get the patient into the ambulance with the
help of wheel and axle-mounted instruments such as Stretchers.

Wheel and Axle reduce the applied force while the inclined plane provides a suitable inclined surface to
circulate the wheel of the stretcher.

6. House Ramp-

House ramps are one of those common incline plane examples which we can see every day in our house
or in our neighbour’s house.

As you know, These ramps are used to get our small vehicles in such as bikes or cycles. It is also used as a
wheelchair ramp where an old-aged granny or mother-father can go in and out with the help of a
wheelchair without too much effort.

These residential ramps are also used to park our four wheels in our front yard or back yard of the
house.
As it provides a smooth surface to rotate wheels on it and inclination removes the gap between two
heights.

8. Roof Tops-

You would have been living on the inclined roof top or you would have definitely seen those roofs titled
from the top giving a perfect inclination angle as well as a beautiful look.

These inclined roofs provide an excellent way to drain the water or snow or give more flexibility in
ventilation.

The common roof examples with inclination angles are Gable Roof, Clipped Gable Roofs, Dutch Gable
Roofs, Gambrel Roofs, Hip Roofs, Shed Roof, Shed Roof, Gable Roof with Sheds, and Front Gables.

9. Escalators-

Escalators are one of the common examples of inclination planes where the steps of the escalator are
arranged at an inclined angle in ascending order.

As you look closely at any escalator, It looks like an inclined plane working majorly on the pulley, Axle
and wheel.

12. Hill or Mountains Roads-

If you are traveling enthusiastic like me, then you would have surely gone to high-altitude destinations
to see the beauty of nature.

But…

Have you paid attention to those inclined roads raising their height from low to high and getting you or
your vehicle to the top?

These roads are specially designed to provide a smoother surface or slope for you or your vehicle to
reach the top of the hill safely.
