The task of the wedge is to separate or cut materials by converting a force applied to its broader end into a greater force at its narrower edge, allowing it to penetrate surfaces. The lever, on the other hand, is a simple machine that amplifies an applied force, enabling the lifting or moving of heavy objects by using a fulcrum to change the direction and magnitude of the force. Both tools effectively facilitate work by reducing the effort needed to accomplish tasks.
