Why the units of stress and pressure are same?

Stress and pressure have the same units (force per unit area, such as N/m^2 or Pa) because they both represent the force distributed over a given area. In other words, pressure is a type of stress that acts uniformly over a surface area. It is this commonality in their definition and physical nature that results in the same units for stress and pressure.

A Pascal. One pascal = one Newton per square metre (same as pressure)


What cause pregnant teens to have high blood pressure during pregnancy?

As such there is no special reason to have high blood pressure in teens except psychological stress. Stress hormones will rise the blood pressure.


Is pressure drop the same as pressure differential?

is pressure the same as stress ? Stress is merely related to physical or mental tension which may be a result of pressure exerted to a material or a person. So pressure may cause stress and is not the same. Pressure drop is the same as differential pressure as normally applied to measure the condition of a filter system. *** Not it is not The more scientific definitions are:- Pressure: compressive force acting on an area, expressed in units of force per unit of area, e.g. 1Pascal = 1 newton/metre (force) per square metre (area). Pressure differential: change Differential to the more grammatically and mathematically correct Difference and there's the definition - difference between two pressures in a system. Stress: force acting on an area, as above, but may be compressive or tensile. Psychological stress is another matter, and most speakers use the word "stress" without knowing its proper meaning when talking of personal problems. Strain: the change in shape of a medium under stress; e.g. compression of rubber or a gas, or the change in length of a spring under load.


Cross sectional area of 176.6mm2. what is the formula for finding the working tensile stress in the steel rod. also the formula for then finding the strain resulting from the working tensile stress?

force/area = stress (it's the same as pressure)


Does watching fish affect blood pressure?

Any activity that relieves stress or causes stress can have an effect on your blood pressure. If watching fish relieves stress for you, it can have the effect of lowering your blood pressure.

What is the unit of stress in MKS system?

Stress has the same dimensions as pressure: force per unit area. In the SI, therefore (or in other MKS systems), the units would be newtons / meter2.


Does stress and medications affect blood pressure?

Stress activates the sympathetic nervous system which does increase the blood pressure. Many medications effect blood pressure, too many to name.
