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.
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.
What is the density of a push pin?
My data states 0.8 g/mL... Check it if you want.
How do you release a tight cloth knot?

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.
Who invented the pushpin?
Philadelphia businessman Edwin Moore was the first to invent & then patent a pushpin in the US. Patent #654319 for a PUSH-PIN was granted July 24, 1900 - exactly one year to the day after Moore filed the application. The Moore Push-Pin Company exists to this day and continues to patent and produce a variety of what the company calls "little things" - including pushpins, tacks, fasteners, and picture hangers.
