On what factors does the effect of thrust on a surface depend?
It is easier to cut with a sharp knife than with a blunt one. explain.
It is easier to cut with sharp knife than with a blunt one because for the same applied force, the pressure exerted (force /area) is more in the case of sharp knife than in the case of blunt one.
