    The wedge is an adaptation of the inclined plane. It can be used to raise a heavy load over a short distance or to split a log. The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of a wedge depends on the angle of the thin end. The smaller the angle, the less the force required to move the wedge a given distance through, say, a log.
