Inclined Plane

Real World Example

Imagine trying to push a heavy shopping cart up a steep curb. Just like how using a ramp makes it easier to push the cart up instead of lifting it directly, an inclined plane helps move heavy objects to a higher elevation with less effort. The curb is like the height you need to overcome, the ramp is the inclined plane, and pushing the cart up the ramp requires less force over a longer distance, just as using an inclined plane reduces the effort needed to lift an object.
