in,on

If a cup has a crack, does it have a crack in /on it? Does it have a crack in/on the side? I think it should be in it, in the side. But I saw in a book, it was on the side.

Someone is punched in/on the eye? When should be in used? When should be on used? Thanks a lot.

Yes, a crack in something and a punch in the eye . In generally has 3 dimensional qualities while on has only two, but many collocations are idiomatic.
