Stress
Stress explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to fit too many clothes into a suitcase for a vacation. This is similar to how an object's force presses, pushes, or pulls on another object. Just as the clothes create pressure inside the suitcase, causing it to bulge and stretch, an object exerts force on another, leading to stress and potential deformation.
