A rod AB is under a loading force P, whether it will break depends not only on the force P but also on the cross sectional area of the rod. A larger cross sectional area means the rod can withstand a greater force without breaking, as the force is distributed over a larger area. The document discusses stress on a rod from an applied force and how the cross sectional area affects the rod's ability to withstand the force without failing.Read less
