In this paper author determines the performance of the inclined plane to understand facts and concepts of development of frictional force with respect to applied external force causing motion or tends to cause the motion. The paper determines the coefficient of friction between various pairs of surfaces and compares the same with the available values of coefficient of friction in the literature. Apart from the angle of repose, a graph between F(Friction force) VS P (Effort applied) has been drawn and mechanical advantage, velocity ratio and efficiency of the inclined plane are determined. The work is extremely useful for B. Tech./M. Tech. Students and research scholars for their project/thesis work.
