Find the Mechanical Advantage and the maximum separation load for a wedge (length = 6 inches and height = 3 inches) used to split a piece of wood.
The effort load applied is 80 lb.

a) 2

b) 160 lb

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular tool made up of wood, metal, stone or plastic.

Given that:

length (L) = 6 inches, height (H) = 3 inches and The effort load applied is 80 lb.

a) Mechanical advantage = Length / Height.

Substituting values:

Mechanical advantage = 6 inches / 3 inches = 2

Mechanical advantage = 2

b) Mechanical advantage = Load / effort

Load = mechanical advantage × effort

Load = 2 × 80 lb = 160 lb
