Principle of Wedge Apparatus | ProDynami - 1272
Product Overview
The Principle of Wedge Apparatus ProDynami - 1272 demonstrates the working of the wedge type lever on a wall-mountable Bakelite base board. This Principle of Wedge Apparatus shows how a wedge-shaped blade concentrates force over a smaller area to split materials apart. It illustrates the wedge as one of the five simple machines, alongside the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw. A full weight set and instruction manual are included.
