Question

Do you do more work if you go up a mountain at a steep angle versus a gradual angle?

Answer 1

Gradual angle is more working because your pushing yourself up

Answer 2

For an inclined plane, less force is put into moving an object up the slope than if the object were lifted straight up, so the mechanical advantage is greater than 1. The more gradual the slope of the inclined plane, the less input force is needed and the greater the mechanical advantage.
