Problem 12.3 Simple Wedge A4 kg wedge is being used to split logs. The angle of the wedge Cl = 25 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the faces of the wedge and the log is 0.31. In order to split the log, the normal force acting on each face of the wedge must be equal to 725 N. You are required to: a) Determine the force F required to drive the wedge at a constant rate.
