🔍 Key Concepts

• Internal resistance vs. deformation in a material when a load is applied • Difference between stress (force per unit area) and strain (deformation per unit length) • How material properties like shear strength and ultimate tensile strength are specific limits, not general behaviors

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the question describing a general internal reaction of the material, or a specific maximum value (like a strength limit)? • Which term refers to the internal force per unit area inside a material when it resists an applied load? • Which term describes the change in shape or length, rather than the internal forces?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice is defined as force per unit area inside a material. • Check which option represents deformation itself, not the resistance to it. • Confirm that strength terms usually refer to maximum capacity (failure point), not the basic, ongoing internal reaction under load.
