If trying to move a very heavy piece of furniture using a ramp should you choose a short ramp or a long ramp? Explain why.
a) The shorter ramp because it will reduce the distance to move the piano.
b) The shorter ramp becuase it will reduce the distance and force needed to move the piano.
c) The longer ramp because it will reduce the force needed to move the piano.
d) The longer ramp because it will increase the distance and the force needed to move the piano.
