Question

What is Tangential stress? Give its S.I. unit.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. : a force acting in a generally horizontal direction especially : a force that produces mountain folding and overthrusting.
2. In SI units, force is measured in newtons and area in square metres. This means stress is newtons per square meter, or N/m2. However, stress has its own SI unit, called the pascal. 1 pascal (symbol Pa) is equal to 1 N/m2.

Answer 2

when two equal and opposite deforming force are applied parallel to the cross sectionl area of an object, there is relative displacement between the opposite faces of the body and the restoring force per unit area developed due to applied tangential force is known as tangential stress
