Stress/pressure Query

[chandra]

Greetings to all.

 

I Need some clarification on a technical problem.

 

When a Iron rod is pressed downwards with some inclination on to a floor and was held at some steady position would there be any difference in pressure/stress values at both ends of the rod?.

 

I am specifically asking about "Axial stress".

 

Also both ends of the rod have different surface areas.

 

Thanks In advance .
