Top 10 Examples of Double Inclined Plane

Hello Friend…

Welcome to Engineers Rail– The number one portal for all your engineering queries.

Today, I am going to discuss Double Inclined Plane Example which you may encounter in your daily life without knowing the mechanism behind those tools.

That’s Why This blog post will give an overview of those things which you encounter in your daily life that have double incline planes.

So, Without further delays, Let’s dive into the mainstream…

What is an Inclined and Double Inclined Plane?

A surface that is inclined or tilted from a higher to a lower angle is known as an inclined plane. And, when two inclined planes meet each other further they form a double inclined Plane.

1. Knife-

As you will be definitely familiar with the knife, one of the earliest tools developed by mankind and further became an essential part of our life which is used to cut food, vegetables, meat, and so on and so forth.

As you look closely at the knife, there will be two inclined plane meeting at the one end making it a sharp and furthermore useful utensil in our homes.

Let me tell you, due to the double incline plane, the better sharpness of the knife is achieved.

A cake knife is also an excellent example of this plane.

2. Axe-

Axe is one of the most used tools in the world and can be found in every household to cut wood or other equivalent materials with the help of this awesome tool.

The formation of the sharp edge at the end of the axe is possible due to the addition of two inclined planes or double incline planes which makes it more friendly to operate and perform.

3. Kitchen Peeler-

One of the most used utensils- A peeler used to peel out any vegetable or fruit in nearly every house in the world, also known as a vegetable Scrubber.

It consists of metal blades having sharp edges at the end using two inclined planes. In Peeler, slots are made to maintain the peeling thickness while sliding the sharp edges on the vegetable or fruit.

4. Screw Driver-

Screw Driver is the most used tool and can be found in every household. As you know, This is used for tight or loose nuts or screws of any appliances or any household things.

Screw Driver has two parts- One is ‘the handle’ and another one is its ‘shaft’. When you look at the end of its shaft, It may look like two inclined planes are meeting at the same point at the end of the tip.

This phenomenon makes this screwdriver a perfect example of a double incline plane.

As you know, the titled surface can be said ‘an inclined plane’, and this tool consists of two sloppy surfaces thus this can be said a double incline plane.’

8. Chisel-

Another member of the axe family- Chisel, but without the handle.

if you look closely at the chisel, It will look like an axe with a handle and is smaller in size than the axe. Here also two inclined plane makes it a useful tool on the go.
