What is the force multiplier or distance multiplier of wedge?

A wedge acts as a force multiplier by converting a small input force applied over a larger distance into a greater output force over a shorter distance. This mechanical advantage allows the wedge to effectively split or lift materials. The distance multiplier is related to the ratio of the input distance traveled to the output distance, demonstrating how the wedge increases force at the expense of distance. In essence, the wedge amplifies the input force while reducing the distance moved by the output.
