Pressure has inverse relationship with area of an object. The smaller the area is, more pressure it exerts. Increasing the sharpness of knife(decreasing its area), increases the pressure on an object i.e ability to cut increases on increasing the sharpness.
Hope this helps.

The greater the pressure, the greater the applied force on the knife, and the better the knife will cut.

What is pressure?

Pressure can be defined as force per unit area. It is measured in Pascal Pa) or Newton per meter squared (N/m²).

P = F/A

Where;

  • F is applied force to the knife
  • A is the area of the surface to be cut

Thus, the relationship between pressure exerted by the knife is directly proportional to the applied force. The greater the applied force on the knife, the better it will cut.
