Safety pins are a special type of pins, they include a mechanism that consists of a spring and a clasp. They are mainly used to fasten pieces of clothing together. They were invented by American mechanic Walter Hunt. The mass of the average safety pin is about 10 grams.

Will a North Pole repel a drawing pin?

Yes, a North Pole of a magnet will repel a drawing pin if the pin is made of a ferromagnetic material, such as iron, because the magnetic field of the North Pole will induce a south pole in the pin. However, if the drawing pin is not magnetic or made from a non-ferromagnetic material, it will not be affected by the magnet at all. In most cases, drawing pins are not magnetized, so they would not be repelled by the North Pole.

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.
