The reason for this is the difference in pressure. Assuming the same force is applied, each case would have a different pressure acting on the thumb. In the first diagram the thumb pushes on a large area so the force is spread out and the pressure is low. In the second diagram the force is concentrated on a small area so the pressure is much higher.
If a force is applied over a smaller surface area you get a larger pressure.
Pressure can be calculated using the following equation:
Force will be in newtons, N.
Area will be in either m2 or cm2.
If the area is in m2 then the pressure will be measured in Pascals or N/m2. If the area is in cm2then the pressure will be in N/cm2.
