Hello friends, I have a small query regarding a force being applied to a surface...
I have a force of 0.1MN which is being applied in the -y direction onto a surface.
Now I know that if said surface was flat, I would divide the force by the area to give me the stress.
However the force is being applied to a curved surface (a u shape).
Is the process the same?
Do I just simply calculate the area of that surface or is there another procedure involved?
Many thanks,
Tina
