Stress can be understood in different contexts:
1. **Psychological Context**: In terms of emotions and mental health, stress refers to the feelings of anxiety or pressure that arise when an individual perceives that they have too much to handle, facing overwhelming demands or challenges. This can trigger a range of emotional and physical responses.
2. **Physical Context**: In materials science, stress describes the internal forces within a material that arise when external forces are applied. It is defined as the force applied to a material divided by the area over which the force acts, typically measured in units such as pascals (Pa). This form of stress can lead to deformation in materials, such as stretching, compressing, or bending.
Each definition highlights a different aspect of stress, so the interpretation depends on the context in which it is used.
