The formula to calculate Normal Stress (NS) is:
\[ NS = \frac{NF}{A} \]
Where:
Normal Stress is the stress that occurs perpendicular to the surface. It is calculated by dividing the normal force by the area of contact.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Normal Stress (NS):
\[ NS = \frac{1000}{2} = 500 \text{ N/m²} \]
The Normal Stress is 500 N/m².
