What happens here
Finally, the video demonstrates an inclined plane. A person lowers the rear ramp of a utility trailer, creating a gradual slope. They then use a dolly to push heavy equipment up this ramp and into the trailer. The inclined plane reduces the amount of force needed to lift the heavy equipment by extending the distance over which the force is applied, making it much easier to load than attempting to lift it vertically.
Goal: Demonstrate how an inclined plane reduces the force needed to lift objects.
Tools and materials
- Dolly Milwaukee — Moving heavy equipment up the inclined plane
