wedges

=**//__ll About the Wedge__//**=

Description:
A **//Wedge//** is a object that can cut through a substance that is softer then the wedge. A wedge is really an inclined plane turned on its side but instead of helping you move things to a higher or lower level, a wedge helps you move things apart. The blades of a knife or a shovel are both wedges. A wedge can also be round like the tip of a nail or a drawing pin or the tines of a fork. The sharper the point or the narrower the edge (smaller), the easier it is to push in.

Uses and Real Life Examples:

 * Axe
 * Knife
 * A Rocket
 * A drawing pin
