The primary effect of using an inclined plane is that **the object can be lifted with less force**. This is because the inclined plane reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object vertically by allowing the force to be applied along the slope of the plane, rather than lifting it straight up. However, while less force is required, the distance over which you apply that force is longer compared to lifting the object straight up.
In summary, while the work done in terms of energy may be the same (since work is force times distance), an inclined plane allows for a reduction in the force needed to elevate the object.
