What will be the stress in a body in the below case?

Let us take a case of an object which has no constraints and it is free to move in all directions. Let us assume it is subjected to a point load at a particular point. Then how much will be the stress induced in the object due to the applied load.

As stress is the resistive force per unit area the material induced due to the applied force, unconstrained body will develop no stress and the body will have rigid body motion.
