10.Wedge calculation formula Symbol description and unit
(1) When driving F=2*R*(μ*cosθ+sinθ) [kgf]
F: Power to drive
F=
R: Surface pressure  [kgf]
μ: Coefficient of friction
θ: Half the corner of the tip of the wedge [degree]
(2) When pulling out F=2*R*(μ*cosθ-sinθ) [kgf] 
F=
R:Surface pressure  [kgf]
μ:Coefficient of friction between object and slope
θ: Inclined angle of slope [degree]
