Question
We can cut vegetables easily with a sharp knife as compared to a blunt knife. Why?
Short Note
Solution
The area of a sharp edge is much less than the area of a blunt edge. For the same total force, the effective force per unit area is more for the sharp edge than the blunt edge. Hence, a sharp knife cuts easily than a blunt knife.
