| Q1: There is a famous saying in Hindi- “A sword cannot replace a needle”. Give reasons for the saying in the light of physics.
Answer: In the physics, the pressure applied on needle gets concentrated its tip i.e. on very small area and hence it pierces the cloth easily. But to make the sword cut a surface; we have to apply much higher pressure due to large surface area of the cutting edge of the sword. Hence a sword cannot replace a needle.
