Why is a sharp drawing pin better than a blunt one?

This is to do with pressure. Pressure is a measure of force over an area. In SI units it's measured in Pascals. Pressure (Pascals) = Force (Newtons) / Area (square metres) A "sharp" pin has a smaller area in contact with the wall as you try to push it in so the pressure on the wall will be greater for the same force. It'll feel easier to push it in.


Why is it easier to push a sharp pin into a board rather then a blunt pin?

Pressure is inversely proportional to area. A sharp pin has lesser area compared to a blunt pin. Therefore we require lesser pressure to push the pin with lesser area.Hence it's easier to push a sharp pin which has lesser area.

What is the American word for a drawing pin?

A drawing pin (British English) is known as a thumb tackor a push pin in American English. Other nails for a drawing pin come from the materials that they are made from, such as, brass tack, tin tack, and iron tack.


Why can you push one end of a drawing pin in but not the other?

If you use the larger side of the push pin, you are spreading the force out, therefore making the pressure lower. However, if you use the smaller part of the push pin, the force is concentrated on one spot, making the pressure much, much higher, because if a you apply force on a smaller surface area, you get a larger pressure.
