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.
Common example:
when yor are sitting on a chair, the force you are applying
on that chair is reffers to as PRESSURE whereas the
internal effect of this force in the chair/material is
known a STRESS.

Greetings This question is about hydraulics and I request an expert to answer it. A simple hydraulic machine is made up of two heads, a larger one with a larger force inside a wider pipe and a smaller one with a smaller force inside a smaller pipe in width as in the second picture on this link: http://science.howstuffworks.com/hydraulic1.htm The question is this: what happens if the smaller head and the smaller force doesn’t exist but the smaller pipe is high enough to take all the liquid? For example the larger head is 1.00 sqr metre and can go down 1.00m under a weight of 100.00kg. The cross sectional area of the smaller pipe is 0.001 sqr metre. Now when the larger head goes down 1.00m, how high the liquid from the wider pipe can go into the smaller pipe of the cross sectional area of 0.001 sqr metre? Regards
