NCERT · Class 11 · Physics · Mechanical Properties of SolidsThe dimensional formula of stress is identical to that of:
Step-by-Step Solution
Stress = $\frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}}$, which has the dimension $[\text{M}^1\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}^{-2}]$. Pressure also equals $\frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}}$, giving it the exact same dimensional formula.
