Tensile stress is
A) the strain per unit length.
B) the same as force.
C) the ratio of the change in length to the original length.
D) the applied force per cross-sectional area.
E) the ratio of elastic modulus to strain.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tensile stress is the applied force per cross-sectional area, which is represented by the formula stress = force/area. Options A, C, and E are related to strain and elasticity, while option B is incorrect as force and stress are not the same.
