A steel nail has a large flat circular head at one end and a sharp point at the other end. The nail is driven vertically into a block of wood. Let $FheadF_{\text{head}}$ and $PheadP_{\text{head}}$ be the force and pressure exerted on the flat head, and let $FpointF_{\text{point}}$ and $PpointP_{\text{point}}$ be the force and pressure exerted by the sharp point on the wood.

Which of the following correctly compares the force and pressure at the sharp point to those at the flat head?

$Fpoint>FheadF_{\text{point}} > F_{\text{head}}$ and $Ppoint>PheadP_{\text{point}} > P_{\text{head}}$

$Fpoint=FheadF_{\text{point}} = F_{\text{head}}$ and $Ppoint>PheadP_{\text{point}} > P_{\text{head}}$

$Fpoint=FheadF_{\text{point}} = F_{\text{head}}$ and $Ppoint<PheadP_{\text{point}} < P_{\text{head}}$

$Fpoint<FheadF_{\text{point}} < F_{\text{head}}$ and $Ppoint>PheadP_{\text{point}} > P_{\text{head}}$
