stresses but the stress which is acting normal to the plane
of force applied we cal it as pressure.

Answer / mithilesh rane

stress is a quantity acted on body by ssome force but
pressure is force acted by surrounding on system

Answer / ravikesh

presure is measured in close system where as stress is
bulid on system . presure is acting under the system,
stress acting on the system.

Answer / saurav sahrma

pressure is comes under the system andstress is on the
system for example-a gas exert a pressure in beaker and
stress is
