Wedges - iPREP's Mechanical Comprehension Tutorials

Learn about wedges, a fundamental simple machine that redirects force to simplify cutting, splitting, and more.

What you’ll learn:

How Wedges Work: Explore how a wedge transforms forward force into a splitting or compressing action through its inclined planes.
Mechanical Advantage Formula:
M.A. = Length (L) / Width (W).
Understand how sharper and longer wedges require less effort compared to shorter, wider ones.
Common Applications:
Discover real-life examples of wedges, from knives and axes to shovels, doorstops, and even human teeth.
Design Implications: Learn why thinner wedges excel at cutting while wider ones are better suited for splitting or stopping motion.

Master the mechanics of wedges and understand how this simple machine makes challenging tasks easier.
