  3. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    Moving an object up an inclined plane requires less force than lifting it straight up, at a cost of an increase in the distance moved. [4] The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane, the factor by which the force is reduced, is equal to the ratio of the length of the sloped surface to the height it spans.

    The objects can be of a smaller load such as an automobile [10] or it can be a larger object such as an airplane. [11] Air bags are also used by rescuers to lift heavy objects up to help victims who are trapped under those objects. There are three main types of lifting bags for rescue: high pressure, medium pressure and low pressure systems.

  6. Crane (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_(machine)

    The generally accepted definition of a crane is a machine for lifting and moving heavy objects by means of ropes or cables suspended from a movable arm. As such, a lifting machine that does not use cables, or else provides only vertical and not horizontal movement, cannot strictly be called a 'crane'. Types of crane-like lifting machine include:

  7. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    The mechanical advantage is 2, requiring a force of only 50 N to lift the load. A block and tackle is characterized by the use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or move a load. Its mechanical advantage is the number of parts of the rope that act on the load. The mechanical advantage of a ...
