A couple is applied to a beam resulting in half of the cross section experiencing tension and the other compression divided by the neutral axis so how do you find which half experiences tension?

This will cause the beam to bend. You need to see the beam like a stack of spaghetti.
Extended spagghettis are in tension
Shortened spaghettis are in compression
(equals signs represent the beam, dots represent air)
If it bends like this, it is tension on top, compression below

What is the science behind the alternating current?
When a sinusoidal alternating voltage is applied in a circuit, the resulting alternating current is also sinusoidal and has the same frequency as that of applied voltage .However, there is generally a phase difference between the applied voltage and the resulting current.This is how alternating-current circuit works.

What items have springs in them?
Springs are used to store mechanical energy. Tension/extension springs get longer as force is applied (seen in trampoline springs), compression springs get shorter as force is applied (seen in bed springs), and torsion springs rotate through an angle as force is applied (seen in clocks).
What is the amount of stress applied to a material divided by the elastic strain caused by that stress called?
This is known as the Modulus of Elastisity, or Youngs Modulus (in tension/compression) and will be a constant as long as the deformation is in the elastic range.
Why are semiconductor strain gauges more sensitive than metal strain gauges?
Semi-conducting materials changes in inter-atomic spacing resulting from strain affect the band gaps, making it easier for electrons to be raised into the conduction band while in metals, resistance change is mostly due to the change of geometry resulting from applied mechanical stress.
Describe the science behind the technology?
have a look at the pantry in your kitchen, or the supplies in your laundry. And at the various appliances in both. These represent the applied technology resulting from investigation and research. I think the original question was intended to provoke thought, not questions.
What is a compression is a static compression applied by the therapist's thumbs fingertips or olecranon to a trigger point?
An ischemic compression is a static compression applied by the therapist's thumbs, fingertips, or olecranon to a trigger point.
Where is compression applied?

Describe possible damage to the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system due to whiplash?
The damage involves compression injures in which pressure, twisting or stretching is applied to nervous tissues. In severe cases, compression injuries can affect the brain resulting in hematomas.
What are compression bandages mostly used for?
Compression bandages are used to apply pressure to the area that it is healing. The pressure that is applied by the bandage helps prevent swelling and edema.
What is a sternum compression site in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
It is where the center of the load is applied in compressions. It is in the middle of the sternum.
What is a resulting force in science?
The resulting force called as the resultant is the net vector of two or more forces applied on a point which indicates the combination of the forces
If 400 pa of pressure is applied to an area of 55 m2 which is the resulting force?
its 375m
When an alternating voltage is applied to purely resistive circuit what happens?
When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.
How do compression load cells work?
Compression load cells work by measuring the force or load applied to them through compression. They contain a strain gauge sensor that detects changes in electrical resistance caused by the slight deformation of the load cell when subjected to pressure. This change in resistance is then converted into an electrical signal that can be calibrated and used to determine the applied load.
When weight is applied to the top of a stone arch all of the stone blocks in the bottom half of the arch undergo?
Compression
Why some bulk message sending software encountering spamming and sending failed problems?
Basically, mobile communication use compression techniques. Two types of compression techniques are there. they are: 1. lossy compression 2. lossless compression. While the user send an SMS, copmression technique is applied at the transmitter section and decompression technique is applied at the receiver. These compression techniques were takes place automatically. 1. In lossy compression, some data may lost at the receiver while performing decompression. 2. In lossless compression, the transmitted data is received without any loss at the receiver. Due to lossy compression only, u may have some problems at the receiver side such as "some text missing". etc.
What is the difference between compression and contraction?
Don't know if you are talking medical, mechanical or data compression. Contraction is when pressure is applied from outside, around an object. Muscles can contract to force a baby to be born or can cause a spasm. A strap can be tightened around something. Compression is pressure applied usually DICK in one direction, can be from all around like deep water compression. A vice can apply compression by tightening the jaws. A hydraulic press compresses items. Your spine can be damaged by compression, by too much pressure on your back which causes a compression fracture of the vertabra.
