Correct Answer: needle exerts more pressure than nail on the balloon
Solution : The correct option is needle exerts more pressure than nail on the balloon.
Because the needle has a smaller surface area, the force is concentrated over a smaller region of the balloon, resulting in increased pressure that easily punctures it. Because the nail has a larger surface area, the force is distributed more evenly, resulting in less pressure and a less effective piercing.
