Stress can be defined as quantity. |
| A. | Scalar |
| B. | Vector |
| C. | Phasor |
| D. | Tensor |
| Answer» D. Tensor | |
|
Explanation: Stress is defined as Resisting force per unit area of an element, on which load is applied. Stress is always perpendicular to a cross-section in the element. It is neither scalar (it cannot be numerically added), nor is it a vector (it does not follow the triangle rule of vector addition). It is a tensor quantity because it describes things happening in two directions simultaneously. |
