Inclined Wedge Force and Friction Equation and Calculator
Force is applied perpendicular to Wedge/Angled and Horizontal Surface
Neglecting Friction:
P = 2 · Q · sin α
P = 2 · Q · b / l
Q = 0.5 · P · cosec α
Q = P · l / (2b)
With Friction:
P = 2 · Q · ( µ cos α + sin α )
Where:
P = Load (lbs, N)
Q = Load (lbs, N)
α = Angle (deg.)
µ = Coefficient of Friction
b = Length (in,mm)
l = Length (in,mm)
