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:
It corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.
Explanation:
The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.
It is defined in a analytic way as it follows:
Where d is the distance to the star.
(1)
Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of d:
(2)
Equation (2) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).
The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth (as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km), is defined as 1 astronomical unit (1AU).
For the case of ():
Hence, it corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.
<em>Summary:</em>
Notice how a small parallax angle means that the object is farther away.
Key terms:
Parsec: Parallax of arc second
