Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Background Paragraph: For an inclined plane, the input distance is the length of the sloping surface, and the output distance is the maximum height of the inclined plane. This was illustrated in Figure above . Because the sloping surface is always greater than the height of the inclined plane, the ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is always greater than 1. An inclined plane with a longer sloping surface relative to its height has a gentler slope. An inclined plane with a gentler slope has a greater mechanical advantage and requires less input force to move an object to a higher elevation. 
Story: John works as a mechanical engineer in the auto industry. He is testing three surfaces, surface A, surface B, and surface C for their usability. Surface A has a gentler slope, surface B has a steeper slope, and surface C doesn't have any sloping. He needs to figure out advantages and disadvantages of each slope.
Output (English): Would surface A need less or more input force to move an object upward?
