A ramp like the one in the Figure below is another example of an inclined plane. Inclined planes make it easier to move objects to a higher elevation. The sloping surface of the inclined plane supports part of the weight of the object as it moves up the slope. As a result, it takes less force to move the object uphill. The trade-off is that the object must be moved over a greater distance than if it were moved straight up to the higher elevation. You can see several other examples of inclined planes at this URL
Mark liked working in the warehouse. His favorite job was unloading the trucks. Mark could loaded boxes from the truck onto a dolly then push that up a ramp and onto the dock which was several feet above the ground.  One of his coworkers Jim was a show off and insisted it was faster just to carry the boxes to the dock without the ramp and lift them up to the dock.
