A wedge is a simple machine characterized by two inclined planes that converge to a sharp edge, allowing it to split, cut, or lift objects. Its primary function is to convert a force applied to its blunt end into a greater force exerted over a smaller area at the sharp edge. This design makes wedges effective for tasks like cutting wood or driving nails. They are widely used in various tools and applications, from axes to door stops.
