How does an inclined plane affect the effort needed to move a load vertically?
1 answer:
If we pull an object vertically upwards then we need to apply a force which is equal in the magnitude of the weight of the object
now when we pull the same object upwards along an inclined plane with angle then we require a force which will balance the component of weight along the inclined
so it is given as
so as if we compare the two forces we can say that since the value of sine is always less than 1 for an angle less than 90 degree
so in the 2nd case when we pull the object along the inclined plane it will require less effort
so correct answer is
<em>A. reduce effort</em>

Answer:
27.5 m/s
Explanation:
applying motion equations we can find the answer,
v = u + a*t
Let assume ,
u = starting speed(velocity)
v = Final speed (velocity)
t = time taken for the motion
a = acceleration
by the time of reaching the highest point subjected to the gravity , the speed should be equal to zero (only a vertical speed component is there)
for the complete motion it takes 5.5 s. that means to reach the highest point it will take 5.5/2 =2.75 seconds
we consider the motion upwards , in this case the gravitational acceleration should be negative in upwards (assume g=10 m/s2)
that is,
v = 0 , a = -10 , t =2.75
v = u + at
0 = u -10*2.75
u = 27.5
