A wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

<h3 /><h3>The Wedge as a Machine</h3>

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. When the wedge is driven into a body by an effort force, a much larger force will be exerted to each side by the wedge surfaces.

What are the importance of wedge?

A wedge is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces example of this scenario is splitting of timber. A wedge is a machine and the example of wedge - type of machine are;

  • Axes
  • Chisel
  • Knives
  • Cutting tools

Note that a thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one.

Therefore, a wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

An electric field of intensity 3.7 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.3
jekas [21]

Answer:

a)906.5 Nm^2/C

b) 0

c) 742.56132 N•m^2/C

Explanation:

a) The plane is parallel to the yz-plane.

We know that

flux ∅= EAcosθ

3.7×1000×0.350×0.700=906.5 N•m^2/C

(b) The plane is parallel to the xy-plane.

here theta = 90 degree

therefore,

0  N•m^2/C

(c) The plane contains the y-axis, and its normal makes an angle of 35.0° with the x-axis.

therefore, applying the flux formula we get

3.7×1000×0.3500×0.700×cos35°= 742.56132 N•m^2/C

I don't know if you need to complete this question or do it otherwise, however, I managed to find on the Internet on several places this completion of your sentence:
<span>Electric current flows through a long rod generating thermal energy at a uniform volumetric rate of q = 2 x 10</span>⁶ W/m³. 
I'm not sure whether that is the answer you were looking for, but that's what I found.
