is the difference between moment and torque?

Answer Posted / tigiri

Pressure = force/area
Stress = load/area

Both stress and pressure have the same unit (N/m2)

The major difference is:
Pressure is the is an external force acting directly on a
body whereas stress is the internal effect of the force in
the material in which the force is acting.

on that chair is reffers to as PRESSURE whereas the
internal effect of this force in the chair/material is
known a STRESS.
