दबाव = बल/क्षेत्रफल = 100 N / 2 m² = 50 N/m². दबाव 50 पास्कल है, या 50 Pa.
Why is it easier to drive a nail using its pointed end?
Answer
The pointed end touches a smaller area, so the pressure becomes higher. Higher pressure makes it easier for the nail to enter the wood.
कील को उसके नुकीले सिरे से मारना आसान क्यों होता है?
