what is the difference between stress and pressure?. what
is the difference between moment and torque?
Answer Posted / tigiri
Pressure = force/area
Stress = load/area
Both stress and pressure have the same unit (N/m2)
The major difference is:
Pressure is the is an external force acting directly on a
body whereas stress is the internal effect of the force in
the material in which the force is acting.

internal effect of this force in the chair/material is
known a STRESS.
