To understand the difference between stress and pressure, we can break it down into a step-by-step explanation: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Pressure**: - Pressure is defined as the external force applied per unit area. It acts uniformly on the surface of an object and is always compressive in nature. - Mathematically, pressure \( P \) can be expressed as: \[ ...
