In the case of a thumb-pin, assuming the same force is applied at both ends, pressure is greater on ______?

انگوٹھے کے پن کی صورت میں ، یہ فرض کرتے ہوئے کہ ایک ہی طاقت دونوں سروں پر لگائی جاتی ہے ، ______ پر دباؤ زیادہ ہے؟
Answer: The pointed end
Explanation

Pressure is inversely proportional to area (Pressure = Force / Area), and the pointed end has a much smaller area.

Thus, the same force produces greater pressure at the pointed end, allowing it to pierce surfaces easily.
