(T/F) Wedges depend upon kinetic friction to transform an applied force into large forces. Why?

Solution

Wedge is used to small adjustments to keep in position or to apply large forces....

In static conditon large force is requred because of high coefficient of friction ie static friction .Hence static friction is sufficient.Therefore kinetic friction is absent.Hence it is FALSE.
