A 10 cm long, 2cm wide wooden wedge is pushed into a soft wood block.calculate: a) the velocity ratio of  the wedge b) the load on the soft wood if the effort applied is 30N

Damon · Accepted Answer

Tricky
If it goes in 10 cm, the wood on the left is pushed 1 cm and the wood on the right is pushed 1 cm.
Therefore I would say the velocity of the wood on each side of the wedge was 1/10 times the velocity of the wedge.
30 * 10 = 300 Newtons
