Why is it easier to break an egg striking the flat side rather than the pointed edge?
Hitting an egg on its flat side distributes the force over a larger area, reducing the pressure on any one point and making it easier for the shell to crack. On the other hand, hitting the pointed edge concentrates the force on a smaller area, making it harder to break the shell.
Why is it easier to break egg on the flat side rather than the pointed edge?
