🔨 Welcome to Flipping Physics! Ever wonder why it's so hard to make nails stick into wood? Today, we've got the answer: Pressure. Join us on this mind-bending journey into the world of pressure, where we explain why those nails just won't cooperate!

🤯 Billy's dream takes an unexpected turn as Bo and Bobby guide him through the science of pressure. Discover how pressure relates to force and area, and how this knowledge can help you drive those nails into the board like a pro.

💡 Learn how to calculate pressure, convert units, and witness the power of pressure in action as Billy experiments with different nail positions.

📏 Plus, we clarify the definition of pressure and remind you that it's a scalar quantity - no direction, just magnitude.
