Wedge

Real World Example

Imagine trying to open a tightly sealed jar lid. Just like how you might insert the edge of a metal spoon under the lid to gradually pry it open, a wedge uses its inclined planes to apply force over a larger area, making it easier to separate or split objects. In both cases, the wedge and the spoon edge act as tools that transform a straightforward motion into one that amplifies force, allowing you to accomplish the task with less effort.
