Inclined Plane A flat surface set at an angle or incline with no moving parts Able to lift objects by pushing or pulling the load E D DR = A M I Inclined Plane IMA DE = Distance traveled by the effort = L L H = A M I DR = Distance traveled by the resistance = H What is the IMA of the inclined plane above? IMA = 15.0 ft / 4.0 ft = 3.75 = 3.8:1 4.0 ft F RF E = A M A Inclined Plane AMA 4 ft b b l l . . 0 0 5 2 = A M A What is the AMA of the inclined plane above? AMA = 2.5 = 2.5:1 5 7 . 3 = 0 5 . 2 Efficiency = AA MM AI What is the efficiency of the inclined plane above? = .67 or 67%
