The hypotenuse is an inclined plane when it is seen in two dimensions, but becomes a spiral when wrapped around a cylindrical object - the thread of a screw is also an inclined plane that converts a small rotary force to a large longitudinal force that drives the screw forward.


Two other simple machines are often considered to be derived from the inclined plane. The wedge can be considered a moving inclined plane or two inclined planes connected at the base. The screw consists of a narrow inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
