yea i was gonna say, in "o=f/a" when you divide anything by a smaller number, "o" will increase....
so by plugging in random numbers, regardless of F is greater than a, that equation actually states that stress will increase with less area...
...if theres some way that makes it work out differently, just explain and ill admit im wrong
