Question

Stress distributed over an area is best described as: a) External force b) Axial force c) Radial force d) Internal resistive force none of these e

Answer 1

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress is the force per unit area that tend to change the shape of body.

Stress is defined as internal resistive force per unit area.

`\texttt{Stress}=\frac{\texttt{Internal resistive force}}{\texttt{Area}}`

`\sigma =(F)/(A)`

So, so stress distributed over an area is best described as internal resistive force.

Option D is the correct answer.
