It is easier to drive In sharp nails in a piece of wood than the blunt ones why?

The sharp nail has a less surface area in comparison to a blunt nail and pressure is inversely proportional to area so it is easier to Hamer a sharp nail into a wood rather than having a blunt nail in wood

How long must a 0.70-mm-diameter aluminum wire be to have a 0.40 a current when connected to the terminals of a 1.5 v flashlight

Natalka [10]

By using Ohm's law, we can find what should be the resistance of the wire, R:
$R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{1.5 V}{0.40 A} =3.75 \Omega$

Then, let's find the cross-sectional area of the wire. Its radius is half the diameter,
$r=35 mm=0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
So the area is
$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=3.85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2$

And by using the resistivity of the Aluminum, $\rho=2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ , we can use the relationship between resistance R and resistivity:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
to find L, the length of the wire:
$L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(3.75 \Omega)(3,85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=54.48 m$
