Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wedge is simply a triangular tool made of two inclined planes, but it can take on many complex jobs. These include cutting objects into pieces, holding objects in place, and lifting heavy loads. When attached to a handle, a wedge becomes a knife, ax, or shovel that makes even more tasks easier. This volume gives readers a lasting understanding of the forces that make these devices work. The concepts in this book bolster STEM curricula and feature eye-catching photographs, age-appropriate text, and a picture gallery of real-world wedges allowing readers to understand the continued importance of this simple machine in their daily lives.

Download or read book Working with Wedges written by Ronald Machut and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wedge is two inclined planes joined together. When joined, the inclined planes form a sharp edge. Inclined planes are stationary objects, whereas wedges are active objects. When force is applied to the flat side of the wedge opposite the sharp edge, parts of the object become separated. For example, an ax is a metal wedge that splits a piece of wood apart. Readers will be provided with a number of examples of wedges, where they're found, and the wedge's historical uses.
