Essays on Inclined Plane

Ideas are best communicated through the means of picture or drawing. The technical drawing which is used to clearly represent and fully define the requirements of the engineering items is called an Engineering Drawing. It is not just a drawing of pictures, but Engineering Drawing is also a graphical language which is used for sharing and communicating information and ideas amongst engineers. All the needed information is passed very clearly from the Engineer who designs it to the worker who has to work on it through engineering drawing. The main purpose of the Engineering drawing is to convey the ...

The origin of simple machines is indefinite. Ancient people might have used the idea of a pulley when they lifted heavy objects by throwing crude ropes or vines over tree branches, or the first levers were probably logs used to move heavy objects. Notwithstanding their antiquities, simple machines are significant sources of ease and comfort for all people living until today’s generation.

Millions of people ride a bike or motorcycle everyday and almost everyone uses a switch to turn on the lights or need a simple handle to open a door. Generally, people use levers, pulleys, inclined planes, ...

(1.1) This experiment is about determining the effect of angle of inclination in the acceleration of an object. The independent variable is the angle of inclination of the slope of motion; the dependent variable is the acceleration of the object.

Hypothesis

(1.2) The angle of inclination of the slope is directly proportional to the acceleration of the object. Without initial applied force, the only acceleration of the object would only be due to gravity. Thus, the relationship will follow the equation: a=gsinθ Where a is the acceleration of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity, and θ is the ...
