In mathematical terms, the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of a wedge is the ratio of the distance the wedge penetrates into the material it's splitting (D) to the width of the split (W): IMA = D/W This is the wedge force calculation, but you can't use it to directly calculate t...

The weight of an object is a special force on the object due to gravity. Gravity is an attraction between the centers of two objects; the Earth being the second object. Remember that a force is normally a push or pull and weight is a pulling of the object down. This downward pull is...
