Inclineplane

      Students explore the advantage of an incline plane in this lesson.  The objectives are to identify the six simple machines, calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane and explain how changing the length and height of an inclined affects the amount of input force is needed to do work. Contributed by Kyle Duport.
