Answer:
Option ( B ) is correct .
Explanation:
To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.
If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted
potential energy acquired by weight = mgh
work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .
mg sinθ x d = mgh ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )
d = h / sinθ
d will be more than h
Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.
Hence option ( B ) is correct .
