I think its because the point has a small surface area which makes it easier to press down on.
p=F/A pressure=force/area (the area is small, you do not need as much pressure)
hope this helps
if u need to double check

∙ 9y agoThe tip of an allpin is sharp so that, when we give thrus , that acts on a very small area, so we have sufficient large pressure, thereby allpin can easily penetrate .

Why is one end of a drawing pin sharp?
becoz it can easily pierce through anything...(when it is sharp)
Why does a drawing pin have a high pressure?
Do you mean a drawing "pen?"
Why drawing pin have flattened head?
So that they are easy to push into a drawing board.
What is the weight of drawing pin?
I don't know - try putting it on scales!
What is pin- pointed on a map?
To pin point something means to accurately locate and identify the position of something. With a map this can be done by pushing in a pin at a particular location. It may also be done by giving the position its unique 'grid' reference.
Which word comes after drawing but before point?
pin drawing pin pin point
Why is one end of a drawing pin sharp?
becoz it can easily pierce through anything...(when it is sharp)
What is the end of a pin or sharp object?
It depends on the object. For a pin we would say the end of a pin For a knife we would point of the knife.
A drawing pin is dropped from 1 meter what is the probability that it will land point up?
The probability that a drawing pin will land point up when dropped from a height of 1 meter depends on a variety of factors, including the shape and weight distribution of the pin, as well as any environmental factors that may affect its trajectory. Without specific information about these factors, it is difficult to determine the probability accurately. However, if we assume that the pin has a roughly equal chance of landing point up or point down, the probability would be approximately 0.5 or 50%.
Why does a drawing pin have a high pressure?
Do you mean a drawing "pen?"
Why is it easier to push a sharp pin into a board rather then a blunt pin?
Pressure is inversely proportional to area. A sharp pin has lesser area compared to a blunt pin. Therefore we require lesser pressure to push the pin with lesser area.Hence it's easier to push a sharp pin which has lesser area.
How many eyes does a drawing pin have?
a drawing pin have seven eyes. there are 4 located on the cilidrical top and 3 located beneath that.
What is the American word for a drawing pin?
A drawing pin (British English) is known as a thumb tackor a push pin in American English. Other nails for a drawing pin come from the materials that they are made from, such as, brass tack, tin tack, and iron tack.
What is the british English for the word thumbtacks?
Drawing Pin
Is a drawing pin a conductor?
yes or no
How would you measure the length of a drawing pin?
meters
Why is a sharp drawing pin better than a blunt one?
This is to do with pressure. Pressure is a measure of force over an area. In SI units it's measured in Pascals. Pressure (Pascals) = Force (Newtons) / Area (square metres) A "sharp" pin has a smaller area in contact with the wall as you try to push it in so the pressure on the wall will be greater for the same force. It'll feel easier to push it in.
