Clipart illustrations of a simple machine, inclined planes. Inclined planes are surfaces whose endpoints have different heights, and by moving an object up the plane, it eliminates the need to move the object completely vertical, reducing work.

Force at angle
"An inclined plane is a slope, or a flat surface, making an angle with a horizontal line...the force acts at an angle to the plane or to the base." —Hallock 1905... |

Force parallel to base
"An inclined plane is a slope, or flat surface, making an angle with a horizontal line...the force acts parallel to the base." —Hallock 1905... |

Incline plane
"Suppose the inclined plane, to be two feet from A to B, and one foot from C to B, then, as we have already seen, a power of one pound at P, would balance a weight of two pounds at W." -Comstock 1850... |

Incline planes
"Suppose two inclined planes, of the same height, with bases of different lenghts; then the weight and power will be to each other as the lenght of the planes." -Comstock 1850 ... |

Inclined plane
"A force pushing a weight from C to D, only raises it through the perpendicular height, E D, by acting along the whole length of the plane, C D; and if the plane be twice as it is high, one pound at B... |

Inclined plane
"This power, the most simple of all machines, consists of a hard, smooth, plane, inclined to the horizon in various degrees." -Comstock 1850... |

Inclined plane
"The power required to force a given weight up an inclined plane, is in proportion to its height, and the length of its base, or in other words, the force must be in proportion to the rapidity of its ... |

Inclined plane
"An inclined plane is a smooth, hard, inflexible surface, inclined so as to make an oblique angle with the horizon." -Avery 1895... |

Inclined plane
"One of the primary simple mechanical powers. The plane's surface is inclined to the horizon at any angle." —Quackenbos 1859... |
