Wedge constant :- Newtons laws of motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of "wedge constant," which participants note is not widely recognized or defined in standard physics literature. There is speculation that it may relate to specific applications in applied physics or experimental setups involving wedge-shaped objects. Participants express confusion over its meaning and usage, indicating a lack of available resources or information. A humorous take on the term is introduced, equating it to the pain experienced from a wedgie, but this does not clarify the original inquiry. Overall, the term remains ambiguous and unsubstantiated in the context provided.

Never heard of it. :confused:

Where did you find it (can you give us a link or a quote)?
 
One of my friend asked me about this, I couldn't find anything about it in books and google so posted it here.

Even I don't have any information about this:confused:

It might well be that in certain branches of applied physics, "wedge constant" is a commonly used term.

But, it will not be a fundamental term, but related to some commonly used apparatus, say, in experimental set-ups, or, perhaps, that the objects studied are readily modeled by wedges, or happens to be wedges themselves.

I don't think the wedge physics community is very large, though..
 
Maybe it's π …

you can have a wedge of pie! :biggrin:​

Nope, I've eaten it already. :smile:
 
F=kp

F= applied force
p=pain
k=wedgie constant

The pain felt from a wedgie is proportional to the force applied in pulling their underpants.

:)
