Obviously not, your question is not specific enough, they are opposite forces, but could be quantively the same

What is tension and compression?

Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.


Why Is the modulus of elasticity in tension and compression for mild steel the same?

Most metals have the same elastic modulus in tension and compression as the molecules which make up the metal expand and contract under load by the same amount. This might not be true for composite beams of different materials like concrete, where you may be compressing small particles of stone but pulling on the cement only that holds them together.


What is compressional strength?

Compressional strength is strength to resist compression (squashing) This is different to resisting tension (pulling). Some materials, such as concrete, are good at resisting compression but not tension.


What does compression force and tension force have in common?

Compression force and tension force are both types of axial forces that act along the length of a structure, either pushing or pulling on it. They both cause deformation in the structure, either by shortening (compression) or lengthening (tension) it. Additionally, they both contribute to the internal stress within the material.

Which term is pulling force of exerted by solids?

The force exerted by solids when pulled is called tensile force.


How can one determine compression and tension in trusses?

To determine compression and tension in trusses, you can analyze the forces acting on the members using the method of joints or method of sections. By calculating the forces in each member, you can identify which members are in compression (pushing) and which are in tension (pulling).


Is compression a pulling or pushing force?

Compression is a pushing force that acts to reduce the volume of a material by squeezing it together. It is typically experienced in materials like solids and fluids under pressure.


What are some examples of elastic forces?

Two kids trying to recover a ball and they are pulling it in opposite directions. or tension force=pulling/stretching and compression force=pushing closer An elastic band.


Why is there no compression on a 2 stroke engine?

There is no separate compression stroke on a 2 stroke engine, but there is compression - the intake and compression take place on the same staroke, the intake on the first part and compression on the later part.


What forces are combinations of pushing and pulling forces?

Tension and compression forces are combinations of pushing and pulling forces. Tension forces occur when an object is being pulled apart, while compression forces occur when an object is being pushed together. Both forces act along the length of an object, causing it to either stretch or compress.


What is the difference between compression and tension how does it affect the bridge?

Compression is pushing things together and tension is pulling things apart. A clothesline is under tension and a stack of firewood is under compression. How it affects the bridge depends on how well it is engineered. Properly built it'll hold up to its various loads w/o problems,
