One way to create a hole in wood without using a drill is to use a hammer and a nail. Simply place the nail on the spot where you want the hole, then gently tap the nail with the hammer until it penetrates the wood.
If you are pulling a nail out of wood, you are using a lever as a simple machine. By applying force to one end of the lever (the nail), you are able to lift the nail out of the wood using the principle of torque.
When you hit a nail with a hammer, the force is applied at the point of contact between the hammer and the nail. This force drives the nail into the surface it is being hammered into.
The force of the hammer is much greater than the force of the nail. Gravity pulls down the hammer, hits the nail, and the nail forces up, but the force of gravity wins over the force pulling on the nail.
