The position of an object has no effect on the location of its center of gravity.

It may have an effect on the truck's center of gravity, however, if the truck's load shifts on the incline.

But that's the result of an actual shift in the center of gravity, not the result of the incline.

How much force does it take to pull the truck up the inclined plane?

I don't actually know what an inclined plane is. But I know what a truck is.


If there is a three point support system in a forklift truck that forms a safety triangle and the center of gravity falls within the triangle can the forklift truck tip over?

The simple answer is no. As long as the centre of gravity remains within the confines of the triangle the truck is stable. However, as the centre of gravity rises (e.g. when the mast is elevated) the stablity of the truck is reduced. This is because the centre of gravity does not have to move very far when it is high in the air for it to have a much greater effect in the triangle at the ground. A similar principle applies when operating on sloping surfaces. If you were to imagine that the centre of gravity acts like a heavy arrow. As the triangle tilts on the slope, the tip of the arrow swings outwith the confines of the triangle and the truck tips over.


What is the effect of using an inclined plane to lift an object?

If we have to lift a heavy massive object to a height if we raise it in the vertical direction then the energy that has to be given is to be provided with greater force of course for a shorter distance. ------------------------------ So by using an inclined plane we can reduce the force in an easy bearable way, of course, with the greater distance. THat is why we prefer inclined plane
