A man is using a wedge to split a block of wood by hitting the wedge with a hammer. This drives the wedge into the wood creating a crack in the wood. When
he hits the wedge with a force of 400 N it travels 4 cm into the wood. This caused
the wedge to exert a force of 1,400 N sideways increasing the width of the crack
by 1 cm. What is the mechanical advantage of this wedge?
