How to Evaluate Stress using Hook's Law?

Stress using Hook's Law evaluator uses Direct Stress = Young's Modulus*Lateral Strain to evaluate the Direct Stress, The Stress using Hook's Law formula is defined as Modulus of Elasticity*Strain i.e., s=E*e Hook's Law states that stress is proportional to strain up to an elastic limit. Direct Stress is denoted by σ symbol.
