Open in App

Solution

A ramp is a flat and tilted surface.
A ramp can also be used to ease an object from a higher to a lower height.
It allows you to move an object to a greater height with less force than is needed to simply lift the object.
Ramps are used in malls, railway stations, hospitals, schools, etc.
Hence, any plane surface that is tilted or inclined to the horizontal is a ramp.
