To solve the question, we need to identify the simple machine described. The question states that it is a simple machine made up of two inclined planes that come together to form a sharpened edge. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition**: The question describes a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted at an angle to the horizontal. 2. **Identify the Characteristics**: The key characteristic mentioned is that these two inclined planes are put together to form a sharpened edge. This indicates that the machine is used to cut or split materials. ...
