    Stress can be defined as ___ quantity.

    A)  Scalar      

    B)  Vector

    C)  Phasor     

    D)  Tensor  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Stress is defined as Resisting force per unit area of an element, on which load is applied. Stress is always perpendicular to a cross-section in the element. It is neither scalar (it cannot be numerically added), nor is it a vector (it does not follow the triangle rule of vector addition). It is a tensor quantity because it describes things happening in two Direction simultaneously.
