Wheelchair Ramp Wheel

Physics/Engineering Ramp Question (from a non-student/physicist/engineer)?
Building a wheelchair ramp for my house. I need to know how many lbs. of force it would take to move a 600lb. person, in a wheel chair, up a 13 degree incline. I did a small test at work, and it takes about 35lbs. of force to push a 200lb. person, in a wheel chair, up a 6.5 degree incline. Not looking for anything exact, just a ballpark figure.
Thanks for both answers. I was estimating in excess of 100 lbs. Obviously I'm ignoring things like grip placement and so forth, but at least this puts it into a ball park figure.
If you do a "school physics" analysis on your test run, ignoring friction, you would expect to need just over 22lbs to push 200lbs up a 6.5 slope. Did you make any allowance for the weight of the chair itself?
If so, we can put the difference down to friction.
Applying that to 600lb and a 13 degree slope, you would expect to have to supply a force of about 135lbs, plus an extra 35 - 40lbs for friction losses.
[Using force down slope = (weight force) * sin(slope angle) ]

wheel chair ramp story problem?
the doorsill of a campus building is 5 ft above ground level. to allow wheelchair access the steps in front of the door are to be replaced by a straight ramp with constant slope of 1/12 how long must the ramp be [the answer is NOT 60 ft.]
No, the ramp is not 60 feet, but the ramp does start 60 feet from the campus building along the ground. The ramp itself would be the hypotenuse of the 60 x 5 triangle.
