You can find a wedge in various forms such as in woodworking tools like chisels and axes, in geometry as a simple machine to split or lift objects, or in footwear as a type of shoe with a wedge-shaped heel.
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 splits things apart best when it encounters less friction. The lower the friction, the easier it is for the wedge to slide between two objects and separate them. More friction would hinder the wedge's ability to split things apart effectively.
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 mechanical advantage of a wedge in this case would be 1, as the input force is equal to the work done. This means that the wedge is not providing any mechanical advantage, as the force required is equal to the work accomplished.

That would be a gap wedge. Between a pitching wedge and a sand wedge.
why would you ask that question
at a work shop
You can find bed wedge at amazon.com. Visit their wesite www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=3775471.
No you don't have to have a sand wedge in your bag, but I would recommend you have at least one wedge in your bag for chipping and pitching.
yes, because a doorstop wedges the door. So it would be a wedge.
A single wedge would be something like an ax or a chisel.

There are four simple machines used to make the compound machine known as the lawn mower. These simple machines are the wheel and axle, the screw, the lever, and the wedge.
Depending on manufacturer, it would range from 54-56 degrees. The most common would be either 54 or 56 degrees.
