Question

Why does paper cut through things so well?

Answer 1

hey mate ur ans
Paper is an extremely flexible material, at least when it is in sheet form. It will deform significantly according to the pressure applied

Answer 2

HLO THERE UR ANSWER IS...

Paper is an extremely flexible material, at least when it is in sheet form. It will deform significantly according to the pressure applied and it is easy to fold.

Therefore, it's extremely counterintuitive that a sheet of paper could cut through human skin and probably through stiffer/harder materials, since when the skin applies a pressure on the paper, one would expect it to fold or bend. Yet it is easy to have a severe cut from paper, through both the epidermis and the dermis. How is that possible? Certainly the width of the sheet of paper plays a big role: the smaller it is, the sharper it is, but also the more flexible it becomes and the less it should sustain an applied pressure without folding up!...
