Question

can any one explain what are tensors?

Answer 1

tensor quantity are one which are scalar and vector nut they dont follow vector rules

Answer 2

if they dont follow vector rules then how are they vectors

Answer 3

bacause they have magnitude and direction like moment of inertia

Answer 4

no body could explain it as easily as you did
can you give me an example

Answer 5

moment of inertia and pressure

Answer 6

moment of inertia what is it

Answer 7

it is measure of objects resistance to changes to its rotation.It is the inertia of rotating body with respect to rotation.

Answer 8

ok thanks

Answer 9

tensor are somethink like matix but it just about the time and 3D

Answer 10

tensor comes in the field of stress component. its the matrix reperesentation of stress in normal and parallel direction

Answer 11

Tensors are quantities whose magnitude and direction changes with change in reference coordinate system.
