My name is Malika, and I will tell/explain how bed of nails works.
Materials
- Set of nails
- Balloon
- Books
Formula:
P=F/A
P= pressure
F= force
A =Area
How it works?
The reason behind this is that when you place balloon on a set of nails, the area is big and the pressure is small, which is not sufficient to pop the balloon.
When you put a balloon on a nail it will pop, because the Area is small and pressure is big.
Unit of pressure- Pascal
Safety issues- If you lay on bed of nails, you can investigate the decrease in pressure on your skin with the increase of contact points.
And don't do harmful things, like picking your finger with a nail
