The Incline Plane
Often shaped much like a wedge, the inclined plane is sloped at an inclining or descending angle. The inclined plane is usually used to slide or roll a load from a lower to higher, or higher to lower level and allows a secret agent to move objects up or down. Inclined planes usually work best if they are stable, or don't move.
