Solution

Normal Stress

When the elastic restoring force or deforming force acts perpendicular to the area, the stress is called normal stress. Normal stress can be sub-divided into the following categories:

Tensile Stress

When there is an increase in the length or the extension of the body in the direction of the force applied, the stress set up is called tensile stress
