Ano pong definition ng stress in physics?

 

The stress applied to a material is the force per unit area applied to the material. The maximum stress a material can stand before it breaks is called the breaking stress or ultimate tensile stress.

Tensile means the material is under tension. The forces acting on it are trying to stretch the material. Compression is when the forces acting on an object are trying to suppress it.

stress = stress measured in Nm-2 or pascals (Pa)

F = force in newtons (N)

A = cross-sectional area in m2

(the 2 in m2 is an exponent; -2 is a negative exponent)

The equation below is used to calculate the stress.  Please refer to the two images.
