Answer / prabhat patel

pressure is the normal force acting on the surfface of a
close container, while stress is the resistance offered
against the applied load/pressure. both are same by unit
but pressure is in case of liquid and gas while the stress
is in case of solid.

Answer / mech

Pressure is defined as force acting pre unit area...


whereas stress is internal resistance force developed by
material when a tensile or compressive force is applied on
it...

Answer / vigneshwar.r

pressure is the applied force acting per unit area on the
body.


Stress is the induced force acting per unit area on the body

Answer / mechpower09

stress is developed only when the external force is applied.
whereas pressure is induced from external sources only.

Answer / rushi

Stress ia an internal resistance of body i.e. it is Reaction
force,
while pressure is an external quantity i.e. Action.

So we can say in other way as we can apply pressure not
stress on body..

Answer / bharath

pressure is a sub set of stress, we have many kind of
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
