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
Answer: The size of the whale can be estimated by using echo Sounder or Sonar
Explanation:The researchers and physicst uses the knowledge of reflection of sound in water or echo to solve a lot of puzzle under water , including calclulating the distance and size of objects like fish,sunk ship,etc
The sonar is able to receive the signals from the whales and the succesive echoes that follows when placed in a strategic position in the water in the path of the whale .
The sonar has a traducers which has both a transmitter and a receiver,so it receives pulses from the whale and transmit back same echo back to the whale and to the bottom of the sea.
Using the speed of sound underwater and time taken for succesive echoes of pulses ,it can calculate with the precision the location of the whale while the image of the whale is also capture by the traducers to determine the size.
