Why does a sharp knife cut objects more effectively than a blunt knife ?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The area under the sharp knife is less than the area under the blunt knife. Hence, the pressure exerted by the sharp knife is more than the pressure exerted by the blunt knife on an object. Therefore, when a same amount of force is applied on both the knives, the sharp knife penetrates deeper into the object than the blunt knife.
