Zuwainah: its too short and not proper

Zuwainah: not exact

Zuwainah: but thnx for the answer

saurav307981: i know it's not exact

saurav307981: it's a just concept

Zuwainah: which concept

Answered by abhi178

we know,
pressure = Force /Area
it means pressure is inversely proportional to Area .
if cross section is minimum then pressure exert maximum .
know, you see cross section area of knife is lesser than cross section area of flat surface of spoon. so , pressure exerted by knife is greater then pressure exerted by flat surface of a spoon
