If the surface area is very very small then stress is a Tensor quantity.... -MOGRE
Stress is tensor quantity. The stress tensor has 9 components. Each of its components has a magnitude (a scalar) and two directions associated with it.
no,Force is vector quantity
Stress is tensor quantity. The stress tensor has 9 components. Each of its components has a magnitude (a scalar) and two directions associated with it.
A digital answer that is with yes or no will not help, so recall the defnition of vector being a quantity which has both magnitude and single direction .Tensor is a quantity of multi-directions. Vector is unidirectional quantity. Tensor is omnidirectinal quantity. So a vector could be viewed as a special case of tensors . Mohammed Khalil - Jordan
stress is having magnitude, direction and point of application of force
It's called a vector
Inertia is a tensor quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction. It is not solely a vector or scalar.
stress is having magnitude, direction and point of application of force
Current is a basic quantity, measured in amperes.
A zero tensor is a tensor with all entries equal to zero.
Current is a scalar quantity, I= dq/dt.
