What forces do pencil sharpeners use?
Pencil sharpeners typically use a combination of a blade and a gear mechanism to sharpen the pencil. As the pencil is inserted into the sharpener, the blade shaves off the wood and graphite, while the gear mechanism rotates the pencil to achieve an even sharpening. The force for turning the gear mechanism can come from either manual hand-cranks or electric motors depending on the type of sharpener.
