  2. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle from the vertical direction, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. [1] [2] [3] The inclined plane is one of the six classical simple machines defined by Renaissance scientists. Inclined planes are used to move ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Eligibility_cum...

    In 2013, NEET-UG was introduced, conducted by CBSE, replacing AIPMT. However, due to legal challenges, NEET was temporarily replaced by AIPMT in both 2014 and 2015. In 2016, NEET was reintroduced and conducted by CBSE. From 2019 onwards, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has been responsible for conducting the NEET exam.

    Bold text How are inclined planes useful? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.204.242.21 17:19, 30 August 2004 (UTC) From the article: "The inclined plane is used to reduce the force necessary to overcome the force of gravity when elevating or lowering a heavy object. The ramp makes it easier to move a physical body vertically by ...

  5. Montech water slope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montech_water_slope

    The Montech water slope is a type of canal inclined plane built on the Canal de Garonne, in the commune of Montech, Tarn-et-Garonne, Southwest France. It is managed by the publicly owned Voies navigables de France and by-passes a series of five locks. The slope is used for larger vessels up to 40 metres in length, while smaller boats continue ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_railway

    Dubbed the "World's Steepest Vehicular Inclined Plane", it is 896.5 ft (273.3 m) long, and ascends 502.2 ft (153.1 m) from the city valley to Westmont hilltop at a 70.9 percent grade. The São Paulo Railway in Brazil employed a series of five inclines to connect the port city of Santos to Rio Grande da Serra , rising 2,625 ft (800 m) in seven ...

  7. Ladder paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox

    In the above paradox, although the rod and the plane of the ring are parallel in the rest frame of the ring, they are not parallel in the rest frame of the rod. The uncontracted rod passes through the Lorentz-contracted ring because the plane of the ring is rotated relative to the rod by an amount sufficient to let the rod pass through.

  8. Duquesne Incline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duquesne_Incline

    Originally steam powered, the Duquesne Incline was designed by Samuel Diescher, a Hungarian-American civil engineer based in Pittsburgh, and completed in 1877.The incline is 800 feet (244 m) long, 400 feet (122 m) in height, and is inclined at a 30-degree angle.

  9. Frictionless plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictionless_plane

    This energy is lost in forms like sound and heat. However, from Galileo's predictions of an object moving down an inclined plane in a frictionless environment, he created the theoretical foundation for extremely fruitful real-world experimental prediction. [5] Frictionless planes do not exist in the real world.
