What is an inclined plane?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
An inclined plane is a simple machine that is a flat surface tilted at an angle. It helps to lift heavy objects with less effort by spreading the weight over the length of the plane.<|im_end|>

Why is it useful?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
It's useful because it reduces the force needed to lift or move an object. For example, a ramp is an inclined plane that makes it easier to load heavy objects into a truck or move furniture up stairs.<|im_end|>

Can you give me an example?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
A common example of an inclined plane is a wheelchair ramp. It helps people in wheelchairs to easily move up or down a slope without having to lift themselves up or down a steep staircase.<|im_end|>
