UPSC NDA-1 – 2017
Stress has the same unit as that of pressure.
Pressure is defined as force per unit area (P = F/A). Its unit is Newton per square meter (N/m²), also known as Pascal (Pa). Stress is also defined as force per unit area, representing the internal force per unit area within a material resisting deformation (Stress = F/A). Therefore, stress also has the unit of N/m² or Pascal (Pa).
Angular momentum is the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity; its unit is kg⋅m²/s or J⋅s. Strain is a dimensionless quantity, defined as the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension (e.g., change in length/original length). Work is defined as force times distance; its unit is Newton-meter (N⋅m) or Joule (J). Out of the given options, only stress shares the same unit (N/m² or Pa) with pressure.
