Answer:A chisel is a type of machine called a wedge.
Explanation: A wedge is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end.
Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the sloping sides of the wedge apply force to the object, cutting/splitting it apart.
A wedge makes work easier by increasing the force applied to the object, although it applies the force over a shorter distance.
Other example of wedge is a hammer
