A wedge is a simple machine that is used to separate objects or hold them in place. Examples of wedges include a knife blade, which cuts through food; an axe, which splits wood; and a doorstop, which keeps a door open. Other examples include the tip of a chisel and a nail, both of which can be driven into materials to create separations. Wedges convert force applied to them into a lateral force, allowing for effective splitting or holding functions.
