Question

Why is it easier to push a nail in a wooden plank through its pointed end?​

Answer 1

The area of the pointed end of the nail is much smaller than that of its head. The same force, therefore, produces a pressure sufficient to push the pointed end of the nail into the wooden plank. ... So, the pressure on their head is reduced and they find it easier to carry the load.
