Asked by Gust M


Stress: The force of resistance per unit area, offered by a body against deformation is known as stress.

Mathematically stress is written as

f=P/A

Where f= stress

P=external force or load

A=cross-sectional area.

Unit of stress: stress is represented in N/m2

Strain: The ratio of change in dimension to the orginal dimension when subjected to an external load is termed as strain and is denoted by e. It has no unit.
