An inclined plane acts as a force multiplier. Explain?

Open in App

Solution

The incline plane acts as force multiplier because less force is needed to push the object,
It must be pushed over a greater distance.
An inclined plane essentially magnifies the force that is applied but at a cost to the distance, it travels.
