Tensile Stress on Body can be defined as the magnitude of force applied along an elastic rod, which is divided by the cross-sectional area of the rod in a direction perpendicular to the applied force. And is denoted by σt. Tensile Stress on Body is usually measured using the Megapascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Tensile Stress on Body is always positive. Typically, the value of Tensile Stress on Body is greater than 0.
