Barry used a ramp to transport a load to a loading truck. The ramp made the work easier by...

A. increasing the size of the input force.
B. reducing the input force to zero.
C. changing the distance over which the input force was exerted.
D. reducing the output force to zero.

Answer (3)

The ramp would neither increase the size of input force, nor decrease the input/output force to zero, so the only answer left would be c) changing the distance over which the input force was exerted.

The ramp helps Barry transport the load easier by allowing him to exert force over a longer distance rather than lifting the load directly. This is an example of how an inclined plane reduces the effort needed to move heavy objects. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
