A to Z Formula

What is Dimensional Formula of Stress?

Stress is defined as force applied on area.

Mathematically,
Stress = Force / Area

Dimensional Formula of Force= M1L1T-2 [Check how Dimensional Formula of force is derived]
Dimensional Formula of Area= M0L2T0[Check how Dimensional Formula of area is derived]

Putting these values in above equation we get,
Dimensional Formula of Stress = (M1L1T-2)/(M0L2T0)

Dimensional Formula of Stress = M1L-1T-2
SI unit of Stress is Nm-2
