What are the dimensions of stress?
Explanation
Stress is defined as force per unit area:
Stress=Force/ Area
-
The dimensions of force = MLT²
-
The dimensions of area = L²
So:
L⁻²ML⁻¹T⁻²
Stress is defined as force per unit area:
Stress=Force/ Area
The dimensions of force = MLT²
The dimensions of area = L²
So:
L⁻²ML⁻¹T⁻²
