The lever amplifies the force applied to the wedge, making it easier to perform tasks that would be difficult with just the wedge alone.


How do you calculate wedge force?

To calculate wedge force, you can use the formula: F = T * tan(α), where F is the force applied to the wedge, T is the force perpendicular to the wedge (normal force), and α is the angle of the wedge. This formula assumes the wedge is ideal and there is no friction. Adjustments may need to be made for real-world applications where friction plays a role.
