A wedge is a simple machine that has a triangular shape, typically with one pointed edge that tapers to a thicker edge. It is used to split, lift, or hold objects apart, functioning by converting a force applied to its blunt end into a force perpendicular to its inclined surfaces. Common examples include knives, axes, and doorstops. The design allows for efficient force application, making tasks like cutting and splitting easier.
