How many parts does a wedge have?

A wedge is simple machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end, as you can see in the Figure below. A wedge is used to cut or split apart objects. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the wedge, in turn, applies force to the object along both of its sloping sides.

The axe is an example of a simple machine, as it is a type of wedge, or dual inclined plane. This reduces the effort needed by the wood chopper. It splits the wood into two parts by the pressure concentration at the blade. Generally, cutting axes have a shallow wedge angle, whereas splitting axes have a deeper angle.

What’s the difference between a wedge and a gap wedge?

Due to a demand for higher precision around the green, golf club makers have started to produce clubs with 50-52 degrees of loft along with the older 48 and 56 degrees of loft on a pitching wedge and a sand wedge. These new golf clubs are normally called gap wedges, or, as I recently learned, A-wedges.
