    An inclined plane is a simple machine that uses a slanted surface to connect two levels, raising or lowering an object. Examples of inclined planes mentioned include slides, stairs, ramps, ladders, and roller coasters. The document discusses using a ramp to lift a heavy lawnmower into a truck by taking advantage of the inclined plane's ability to move an object between levels more easily than lifting directly.
