The elementary mathematical expression for pressure is giving by ,
P = F/A
Here, P is the pressure , F is the force acting perpendicular to the surface to which this force is applied and A is the area of the surface .
The same force applied by a sharp knife with a smaller area of contact will exerts a much greater pressure than a blunt knife having a considerable larger area of contact .
Once a blunt knife is through the object (vegetable or other food), there is a greater chance for the pressure to lead to slippage, skidding and injury. A sharp knife can cut using the edge of the e knife with a safer slicing. Rather, cuts from sharper knives can actually heal more easily than those from dull knives. A sharp knife is a safer knife than a dull knife. less

According to the equation, force is directly proportional to pressure. A blunt knife has more area around the cutting edge than a sharp knife. So a blunt knife requires more pressure for the same amount of force to be exerted, as the pressure applied increases the chances of the knife slipping and cutting Adam's hand increases. Similarly, a sharp knife would require less pressure to be applied for the same amount of force to be exerted, this not only allows Adam to cut through the food but also prevents the knife from slipping and cutting his hand. less

P=F/A, for a fixed area, force is directly proportional to pressure. If the
area of a blunt and a sharp knife is same, then doubling the pressure on blunt
knife means doubling the force.
Secondly,F= {m(v-u)}/t
Assume, two knives have same mass and you take same amount of time to cut. As
you start from a zero velocity, that means u=0. Ultimately you end up giving
much more velocity to the blunt than sharp one. So, if you accidentally slip
while cutting, blunt will hit your finger faster, which might cause a serious
injury. Sharp knife will have less velocity, which has multiple advantages:
bringing the sharp knife to rest is easier than blunt one. If you slip, sharp
knife won’t hit so fast. It may cause a
little scratch, or you’ll be lucky to stop the sharp knife as soon as it touches your skin (blunt one
would cause a deep scar).
For same time duration, point of contact (finger and knife)
faces two different momenta. As a result,... less

Here, according to Pascal's law (P = f/a, where pressure is the force applied over a certain area), the sharp knife can exert greater pressure than the blunt knife, as the sharper knife has less contact area for the same force than the blunt knife, so the force would be exerted over a smaller area. So in order to cut anything, one would need to apply a larger force in a blunt knife than a sharper knife, and this might result in the blunt knife cutting the hand due to excessive pressure applied by the user while cutting any other objects. less

their village economy. He can use his political purpose in this situation also.
In my point of view some ideas are pointed below:
1.During lockdown he may arrange online learning & earning programs with younger
& educated village people.It may help their economic condition.
2.He can make a team or organization with young people those who give free service during pandemic such as
village women can work in home(hand crafts,sewing etc.) and they can help to delivering these things.
3.From political background he may manage some reliefs from govt. and distribute those with his organization’s young people.
4.He can make schedules for village farmers when they go to their land to cultivate & collect their vagetables and others seeds by maintaining social distance.
5.He and with the help of young people they can arrange market with maintaining social
distance in the open ground area so that village people can buy... less

will use my knowledge from both fields.
I will separate the jobs or general people's economic contributions
into three categories: highest, the less, and the least. The main objective is
to keep the economy after reducing the interaction of people.
I will set the time frame for various categories. Before the
office hours on the very morning, the markets will be available for estern
housing (in the evening, the western people will come).
With the office hours, the banks and other related services
will be there. In the evening time, the least contributors will come across
like shopping complexes and restaurants.
At night the manufacturers and agriculture, food services, garments,
suppliers will work.
The statistics on the economic contribution I will follow to
set them at morning, day, or night shifts, related with one another.

Distribution of workforce could ensure less gathering and reduction of service. Businesses will divide the workers into shifts and follow strict guidelines. They will also have to reduce the services they provide and stay open for extra hours. Garments, constructions need to divide their workforce into shifts so it doesn't hinder their work.
Long journeys should be restricted as it increased the chances of spreading the virus. Borders need to stay closed at all costs because new strains are being discovered on a regular basis around the globe and the effects of the mutated virus could be devastating.
Law force should be deployed to monitor unnecessary gatherings and ensure people maintaining the guidelines in public.
The government needs to organize relief funds to ensure infected individuals don't have to go hungry or forced to go... less

- I will instruct the industries to work by dividing the working time into double shifts. In this way, even if the cost of running the industry is a bit higher, the density in the workplace can be avoided.
-Since the marketplaces must be kept open, a family member from each family will be provided a movement pass for shopping at most one day of the week to avoid extra crowds.
-Adequate number of transports would be kept running on the occasion of the upcoming festival so that the passengers can maintain minimum social distance.
-Strict surveillance will be put in place to ensure that people are maintaining proper social distance and hygiene and not leaving their house unnecessarily. Public awareness activities should be carried out to motivate the people to abide by the necessary health norms. less
