It is much easier to burst an inflated balloon with a needle than by a finger. Explain.

A needle has very less cross-section in comparison to that a finger. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area where it has been applied.

So, the pressure exerted by a needle is greater than a finger. Therefore, it is much easier to burst an inflated balloon with a needle than with a finger.
