1 answer:
Answer:
The answer is a wedge.
Explanation:
The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. It is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces, e.g, splitting timber
M.A.= slant height of wedge/thickness of wedge.
Hence a long thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one; or the smaller the angle theta between the slant heights, the greater the mechanical advantage.
