- 2. plane machine, like a ramp, that's a flat, sloped surface connecting a lower level to a higher one, making it easier to lift heavy objects by trading a smaller force over a longer distance for the large force needed for a direct vertical lift.
- 3. A device that changes the force or increases the motion from work.
- 5. advantage: The ratio of output force to input force.
- 6. machine consisting of a wheel with a groove for a rope or cable, used to change the direction of a force or to amplify it, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects.
