Which has more force a blunt stick or a pointed stick?
If the stick is just sitting there, it doesn't exert any force at all. If you're swinging the stick, the shape of the stick won't matter much; the force will be determined by the speed and mass of the stick. If you are poking with the stick, then the FORCE will be the same whether it is blunt or pointed - but a pointed stick will concentrate the force into a smaller AREA, so the force per area will be a lot higher with a sharp stick than with a blunt one.
Why does a sharp axe cut through wood more easily than a blunt one?
Because the cutting edge has a smaller area when the blade is sharp so the pressure it can exert increased
How does the amount of pressure you exert on the floor when you are lying down compare with the amount of pressure exert when you are standing up?
Since your weight remains constant, the only variable is the area. Pressure is the ratio of Force to Area, implying that the larger the area the smaller the pressure and vice versa. Since lying down translate into occupying a larger area than when standing up, a lower pressure is exerted on the floor while lying compared to when standing on the floor.

external pressure is pressure that other things exert on you
Do solids exert pressure?
yes

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.
