A ramp or inclined plane can make lifting something or climbing a certain height easier

( use less force ). But there is a trade off ? What is it?

The way an inclined plane works is that to save effort, you must move things a greater distance
The longer the distance of the ramp, the easier it is to do the work. It will take a much longer time to do the work
The shallower the ramp, the easier it is to move the object. The trade-off is that you must move the object farther to lift it to the same height
