Pressure — practice question

A steel knife requires a cutting edge with a small surface area. What is the reason for having this?

  • AA small surface area increases the pressure.
  • BA small surface area increases the density of the steel.
  • CA small surface area prevents the cutting edge from rusting.
  • DA small surface area prevents the knife from becoming magnetised.
