How can an inclined plane make work easier? By reducing the amount of force it takes to raise an object. What is the tradeoff when you use an inclined plane to make work easier? The force must be applied over a greater distance (you have to push it farther). What is another name for an inclined plane? a ramp Which takes more force? Lifting a brick straight up to the top of a stack of books? or Pushing it along an inclined plane from the starting point to the top of the st...

1. Question: A company manager believes that a person's ability to be a leader is directly correlated to their zodiac sign. He never selects someone to chair a committee without first evaluating their zodiac sign. An irate employee sets out to prove her manager wrong.
