Inclined plane is a simple machine consisting of a sloping surface on which an object can move.
The lever is a simple machine made up of a rigid bar that is supported at one point, the fulcrum.
Inclined planes is always a ramp of some sort. How you use an inclined plane is by placing the object that you want to move on the enclined plane and working against the force of friction, you want to pull the object up the ramp to hight that you want the object to be at.
There are 3 classes of levers. the first classes is when the fulcrum (which means the centre of the load) is near the middle, the load is near the end, and the effort is on the other end. a second class lever is when the fulcrum is on the end, the load is in the middle and the effort is on the other end of the fulcrum. a third class lever is on the opposite end of the second class lever, the load is on the opposite end and the effort is in the middle.
