Question

if you are hit with the edge of a ruler it is much more painful than if you are hit with the flat side

Answer 1

when a person is hit by a flat scale due to the decrease in area of contact there is a decrease in the pressure whereas in case of the edge it is pointed decreasing the surface area and increasing the pressure which makes us feel more painful

Answer 2

hi friend here is your answer if we hit with the edge of the ruler it is much more painful because the area of contact is less which will create a larger pressure and as we know that pressure is inversely related to area and then when we hit from the flat side, the area of contact is larger so the pressure is less hence if we hit from the edge of a ruler it is much more painful let's take one more example why it is difficult to cut with a blunt knife than sharper life because in the blunt knife the area of contact is more than a sharp knife so the pressure produced is less hope It helped you Mark as brainliest plzzzzzzzzz please please please please
