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
becoz it can easily pierce through anything...(when it is sharp)
Do you mean a drawing "pen?"
A drawing pin, also known as a pushpin, is not magnetic. It is typically made of metal, such as steel, but lacks the properties that would allow it to be magnetized. While some metals can be magnetic, the specific materials and design of a standard drawing pin do not make it attract magnets. Therefore, it will not stick to a magnet.
So that they are easy to push into a drawing board.
I don't know - try putting it on scales!

becoz it can easily pierce through anything...(when it is 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.
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.
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.
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.

The end of a pin or sharp object is typically pointed and designed to pierce through materials or surfaces. This pointed end allows the object to penetrate and fulfill its intended purpose, such as holding things together or puncturing objects.
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.
a drawing pin have seven eyes. there are 4 located on the cilidrical top and 3 located beneath that.
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.
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.
