  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/Free_body_diagram

    Free body and kinetic diagrams of an inclined block. In dynamics a kinetic diagram is a pictorial device used in analyzing mechanics problems when there is determined to be a net force and/or moment acting on a body. They are related to and often used with free body diagrams, but depict only the net force and moment rather than all of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combe_Hay_Locks

    The inclined plane was only ever intended to avoid further delays to the canal's construction, [16] and would only be in operation while the flight of locks was built. [16] To reduce the length (and gradient) of the inclined plane, three pound locks were built to the east of Combe Hay. The inclined plane began operation in November 1801. [9]
