Is tension and pressure the same thing?

The difference between tension and pressure is more or less the sense of application (from a mathematical and physical point of view). As pressure is something that we can undergo, tension is something we create ourselves. Tension is the feeling we have when we are about to make change happen.

What is the relation of tension?

Law of tension: If we keep length and mass per unit length constant in a vibrating string, then its frequency will be directly proportional to the square root of applied tension.

What is the main difference between stress and pressure?

Difference between Stress and Pressure
Stress	Pressure
Stress can be either a positive or a negative force	The pressure is always a positive force
Pressure is exerted externally	Stress is developed internally
Stress may be tensile, compressive and shear	Pressure is always compressive

Is stress equal to pressure?

In physics, is stress the same as pressure? Answer: Stress is the same as pressure, the difference is the force in pressure is external but the force in stress is internal which stops it to change its shape or size.

Is tension opposite of pressure?

Tension is a force pulling something apart. Pressure is a force per unit area pushing on something. If you divide tension by the area over which it is acting, then you get tensile stress. That is force per unit area similar to pressure but in the opposite direction.

What is the relationship between tension and frequency?

The frequency of a string is directly proportional to the square root of its tension, F. Thus, the tension is equal to the frequency squared. This means that with a higher tension, the frequency will also be higher, so if we double the tension, then the frequency is quadrupled.

What is the basic difference between stress and pressure though they have 2 same unit N m2?

Newtons per meter squared. That sort of thing. Pressure is often used with fluids (gases or liquids), whereas stress is more often used with solids. One major difference is that pressure only acts perpendicular to a surface, whereas stress can also be parallel to a surface as well as perpendicular to it.

What is the difference between surface tension and press pressure?

Pressure is Force per unit Area, while surface tension is Force per unit Length. Pressure represents a force applied perpendicular to the surface, distributed over the surface. Surface tension is less familiar.

What is the relationship between surface pressure and mass of air?

It is directly proportional to the mass of air over that location. Surface pressure can also refer to the change of surface tension as a function of area of water surface available to each molecule in a solution.

How does the concentration of H2O affect its surface tension?

The stronger the intermolecular forces of a liquid, the stronger its surface tension. Normally, the concentration of whatever substances H2O contains has nothing to do with its surface tension. An exception is the concentration of surfactants. The most commonly known surfactant is soap, i.e. sodium stearate.

What is the difference between surface pressure and surface layer?

The surface layer appears to be look like stretched membrane because the surface molecules are attracted or pulled down by the molecules present below them. Whereas surface pressure often refers to atmospheric pressure at a location on the earth’s surface. It is directly proportional to the mass of air over that location.
