Since stress= (force/area).

So if area decreases stress increases so at smaller end area is small so high stress over there.

Obviously, Stress is inversely proportional to the area. So in small end area of section is very small when compared to large side so. Ultimately stress should be more at small end.

Stress is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of specimen taken under consideration.

Sahib said:   1 decade ago
Stress inversely in relation to the area under consideration.

Stress is inversely proportional to area so smaller end take more stress.

We know that,

Stress = load/area.
I.e. Stress is inversely proportional to the area.

So, the max. Stress is produced in at the smaller end of the bar because their area is less.

It is Based on force acting.

The bar must be hanging vertically downward.

Hence max stress should act on larger area.

Basar sk said:   6 years ago
As we know, stress inversely proportional to the area. So where the area is minimum stress is maximum. So the answer is a smaller end.

STRESS = FORCE/AREA.
