MediumExplain tensile stress and compressive stress.
(N/A) $1$. Tensile Stress: When a deforming force is applied to a body such that the length of the body increases along the direction of the force,the restoring force per unit area is called tensile stress. It occurs when the body is under tension (stretched).
$2$. Compressive Stress: When a deforming force is applied to a body such that the length of the body decreases along the direction of the force,the restoring force per unit area is called compressive stress. It occurs when the body is under compression (squeezed).

View SolutionThe elastic behaviour of a material for linear stress and linear strain is shown in the figure. The energy density for a linear strain of $5 \times 10^{-4}$ is $\dots \; kJ/m^3$. Assume that the material is elastic up to the linear strain of $5 \times 10^{-4}$.
$A$ vertical hanging bar of length $l$ and mass $m$ per unit length carries a load of mass $M$ at its lower end. Its upper end is clamped to a rigid support. The tensile stress at a distance $x$ from the support is (where $A$ is the area of cross-section of the bar):
