  inclined plane - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
inclined plane simple machine, consisting of a sloping surface, whose purpose is to reduce the force that must be applied to raise a load.
The actual mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of the load lifted to the force applied; ideally it is equal to the ratio of the length of the sloping plane to its vertical rise.
An inclined plane whose sloping length is 5 m and whose vertical rise is 1 m has a mechanical advantage of 5; a 300-newton load can be moved up such a plane by a 60-newton force.

The purposes of the present paper are to draw your attention to some papers and aspects of long jump technique that have not been accorded the attention they deserve from sport biomechanists and to raise some questions of a relatively far-reaching nature concerning the methods used to gather and analyze data in sports biomechanics research.
This meant, in short, that within the limits of their data the greater the gain in vertical velocity and the greater the loss in horizontal velocity during this phase, the better the result.
The trunk is also inclined more forward than is normally the case: 76 and 75ø to the forward horizontal for the 6.0 and 8.4-m jumps, respectively, compared with means of 88 and 92ø recorded for national- and international-class long jumpers (Fischer, 1975; Keller, 1974).

hay fever, seasonal allergy allergy, hypersensitive reaction of the body tissues of certain individuals to certain substances that, in similar amounts and circumstances, are innocuous to other persons.
In addition, many patients with hay fever develop other allergic conditions, e.g., asthma asthma (ăz`mə, ăs`–), chronic inflammatory respiratory disease characterized by periodic attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, and a tight feeling in the chest.
In the spring, hay fever may be caused by tree pollens (oak, elm, maple); in summer, by grass pollens, wheat or corn rusts, or fungus spores; in late summer and fall, by ragweed pollen, which is the most common cause.

It would be the exact amount of work in either case, but the action of pulling down feels easier because you're working with the force of gravity.

In the inclined plane example, the body is clearly in equilibrium along the direction of the normal force and not so along the direction of the plane.
For example if we want to lift a bale of hay to the hayloft in a barn, it is convenient to pull downward from the ground on a rope that goes up and over an overhead pulley and down to the bale.
The bale of hay is applying a force downward on the other end of the rope presumably equal to the weight of the bale.
