40 POINTS suppose you already know how many ants it takes to lift an object straight up (using the 10-cm stick). How can you predict the number of ants that will be needed to lift the object with an inclined plane of a certain length?

The work used to lift an item equals the
force needed times the distance moved.
You can estimate work by multiplying the
number of ants times the stick length.
