find a chisel. describe why it is a wedge and how it works.

A chisel is a type of machine called a wedge.

Explanation: A wedge is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end.

Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the sloping sides of the wedge apply force to the object, cutting/splitting it apart.

A wedge makes work easier by increasing the force applied to the object, although it applies the force over a shorter distance.

Other example of wedge is a hammer
