The correct response is:
**The ramp reduces the mechanical force needed to move the refrigerator.**
Using a ramp allows the movers to apply less force to lift the refrigerator over the step by increasing the distance over which the force is applied, making the task easier.
**The ramp reduces the mechanical force needed to move the refrigerator.**
Using a ramp allows the movers to apply less force to lift the refrigerator over the step by increasing the distance over which the force is applied, making the task easier.
