Hi.
Imagine a body (A) that is between two other bodies (B and C).
B A C
B pushes A to the right, and C pushes A to the left.
B-> A <-C
The material of A (glass, wood, etc) supports a pressure of intensity X .
It´s possible to identify the pressure that is been applyed to a body?
Another situation is when you have a stack of boxes.
A box supports a pressure of intensity X .
If you stack too many boxes, the ones on the bottom will break.
Thanks!
