### Step-by-Step Solution
**Step 1: Define Stress**
- Stress is defined as the force applied per unit area of a material. It can be mathematically expressed as:
\[
\text{Stress} (S) = \frac{\text{Force} (F)}{\text{Area} (A)}
\]
- This definition indicates that stress is a measure of the internal resistance of a material to deformation when subjected to an external force.
