what is the principle of an inclined plane??

The basic principle of the Inclined Plane is as follows: 

As, Work done under a process is given as W = Fd (Force x distance)

As with all simple machines, the inclined plane can be used to trade increased distance for decreased force or effort. The force is applied in a different direction to that in which movement takes place. While the steepness of the inclined plane is a key factor. If a person uses a longer board to make the inclined plane, he or she will need less force to move the object up the ramp.
