Question

Explain why, a nail has a pointed tip.

Short Note

The tip of a nail is sharp and pointed because the area under the pointed end of the sharp nail is very small. Therefore, the pressure exerted by a sharp nail is more on the wall and it can pierce easily on the wall with less amount of work done.
