Question 2

Put the events below in the order in which they happened.
a) The marble is moved up the ramp using a pulley system.
b) The marble is placed on a wooden sled.
c) Iron wedges are used to break the massive marble.
d) Masons begin carving the marble.
b, a, c, d
b, c, a, d
c, d, b, a
c, b, d, a

Answer 1

The events regarding the marble and inclined plane occur in the order of breaking the marble with iron wedges, placing it on a sled, using a pulley system to move it up a ramp, and then carving by masons. So the correct option is c, b, a, d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of events from the options given is c, b, a, d.

1. Iron wedges are used to break the massive marble.
2. The marble is placed on a wooden sled.
3. The marble is moved up the ramp using a pulley system.
4. Masons begin carving the marble.

The process reflects the logical sequence of obtaining and preparing marble for sculpting or construction. Initially, large blocks of marble must be separated from the quarry, which is done using iron wedges. Once broken down into manageable pieces, the marble is transported, often placed on a sled to facilitate moving. A pulley system is then used to lift or move the marble up an inclined plane, such as a ramp, to reach the desired location. Finally, masons can begin the precise work of carving the marble into its intended shape.

Answer 2

The event placed in order is;

b, a, c, d

Step-by-step explanation:

1) b) The marble is placed on a wooden sled

Before the marble is lifted up the ramp, it is placed on a wooden sled that allows the pulley system which can be attached to the wooden sled to lift it up the ramp

2) a) The marble is moved up the ramp using the pulley system

The attached pulley system is then used to move the marble up the ramp

3) c) Iron wedges are used to break the massive marble

The massive marble is broken into pieces that can be worked upon by each mason

4) d) Masons begin carving the marble

The masons (more than one mason) begin carving the pieces of marbles into shape
