Why it is easier to hammer a sharp nail into the wood than a blunt one?
A sharp nail has a smaller surface area, allowing it to penetrate the wood more easily. The smaller cross-section reduces the amount of wood fibers that need to be displaced, making it easier to drive the nail in.
Why is difficult to fix a blunt nail?
Because they do not have an edge or point that is sharp, they are less accurate and less refined. If you must fix a blunt nail, drill a much smaller hole first
Is the surface area bigger or smaller on a sharper nail?
The surface area of a sharper nail is technically smaller compared to a dull nail of the same size. This is because a sharper nail has a more acute tip, which reduces the area of contact with the material it is penetrating. In contrast, a dull nail has a blunter tip, resulting in a larger surface area in contact with the material.
Why a hammer which is used to drive a nail into a piece of wood can exert a greater force on the nail than the exerted by a larger mass placed on top of the nail?
The sharp point tends to work as a wedge and move the fibers off to the side. A blunt nail has to cut the fibers in order to go into the wood. This is because of pressure.
