What is Tensile Stress?

Tensile Stress : - It  is defined as the stress when a Tensile Force is applied on the cross sectional area of the body , the stress is produced is called Tensile Stress. It is denoted by 𝝈ₜ .

here is             Tensile Stress = Tensile Load / Cross sectional area
                                          𝝈ₜ  = P / A
                                      P = Tensile Load
                                      A = cross sectional area.

                     
                                  fig - Tensile Stress

The SI unit of Tensile stress is N/mmᒾ .
