Hi
I have the last days had lots of discussion about wedges on work. All of my collegues claim that the higest force your able to get out of a wedge is the one you put in on the top. While i claim that the wedge can push more to the side the thinner it is.
To simplify matters we say no friction on any surface.
My issue is that i can`t get a good source on how to do the vectors on the wedge.
Initial thread on my regular forum.

My only decent source.
