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

Why is the one end of drawing pin kept wide but the other end very sharp?

The wide end of a drawing pin is meant to be held or pressed into a surface, providing stability and control during use. The sharp end is designed to easily penetrate materials like paper or cork when pushed, allowing the pin to be securely attached.


What is the sharp end of a pin called?

The sharp end of a pin is called the "point." This is the part designed to penetrate materials, allowing the pin to serve its purpose in fastening or holding items together. The point is typically tapered to ensure ease of insertion and effectiveness in use.


One end of the drawing pin is kept wide but the other end is kept very sharpGive reason?

The wide end of the drawing pin provides a larger surface area to hold onto, making it easier to push the pin into a surface. The sharp end is designed to penetrate materials efficiently with minimal force, reducing the risk of damage to the surface being pinned. This design balance ensures both ease of use and effectiveness when using the drawing pin.


A drawing pin is dropped from 1 meter what is the probability that it will land point up?

If a drawing pin is dropped from 1 metre, it would be about a 50/50 chance because drawing pins are extremely thin but you never know whether it will land point up or not. I don't know if I am perfectly right, but I hope this has helped you a little bit.

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.


What is the American word for a drawing pin?

If you dropped a pin what is the chance that it would land with the sharp point facing up IE so someone could step on it?

The chance of a pin landing with the sharp point facing up would depend on multiple factors such as how the pin was dropped, the surface it was dropped on, and its shape/weight distribution. It is generally difficult to calculate an exact probability due to these variables.
