A book is not usually wedge shaped.
A thick wedge has a greater mechanical advantage than a thin wedge. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is calculated by dividing the length of the slope by the thickness of the wedge. Therefore, a thicker wedge will have a larger mechanical advantage since it has a longer slope relative to its thickness.
The dingbat answer for "wedge" is "cut a slice."
The efficiency of a wedge is determined by the ratio of output force to input force. It is calculated as the length of the slope divided by the thickness of the wedge. The ideal mechanical efficiency of a wedge is 50%, assuming there are no energy losses.
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.
A compound machine consisting of a lever and wedge would typically involve using the lever to apply force on the wedge. For example, using a lever to push down on a wedge to split wood. The lever amplifies the force applied to the wedge, making it easier to perform tasks that would be difficult with just the wedge alone.
A wedge is a tool which is ... well ... wedge-shaped. It is used to pry or hold things open.If you can't get someone out of somewhere with a wedge, that means they are really stuck! You can also use it in a situation where someone is not physically "stuck" but is really interested in something - you could say "nobody could pry you out of a book with a wedge!" when someone loves to read and always has a book.
The phrase "crazy as a wedge" does not appear in the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. It is possible that this is a misquotation or confusion with a different phrase used in the book. Can you provide more context or clarify the reference?
Utility wedge. Similar to a gap wedge or approach wedge.

It is an expression that describes the shape into which something is cut. A potato wedge, an apple wedge, a fruit wedge, a cheese wedge, and other examples are possible.
