Stone slabs are stronger under compression or tension?
Stone slabs are stronger under compression.
Are straws stronger under tension or compression?
tension when it bends the ridges are pulling apart and thats tension
Is bone weaker under compression or tension forces?
Tension
Give a example of an object under compression?
The opposite of tension.
What is the difference between compression and tension and how does it affect your 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,

Is spaghetti stronger in tension or compression?
Spaghetti is stronger under tension because spaghetti is brittle and therefore a smaller yield point. This is bad for compression because compression requires a large elastic value, which spaghetti doesn't have. Because tension hardly changes spaghetti it makes it stronger than compression.
Is wood stronger under tension?
Oak is 60 MPa, with a specific strength of 86.95 kN·m/kg
Is bone weaker under compression or tension forces?
Tension
When you bend a meterstick one side is under tension and the other is under compression which side is which?
The part bent on the outside of the curve is in tension. The inner curved part, which is pushed in, is in compression.
Give a example of an object under compression?
The opposite of tension.
Is it tension or compression that strengthens an arch that supports the load?
compression: the keystone in particular is under rather high compression forces.
What objects under tension?
tension is the opposite of compression, so it would be anything pulling in an object; cables on a bridge, a zipline, even when you reach out to grab something! there is so many things that are under tension or compression that are all around us.
Why is concrete in compression and weak under tension?
Concrete is strong in compression, as the aggregate efficiently carries the compression load. However, it is weak in tension as the cement holding the aggregate in place can crack, allowing the structure to fail. Reinforced concrete solves these problems by adding metal reinforcing bars, glass fiber, or plastic fiber to carry tensile loads

Is an arched roman bridge under compression or tension?
it is under compression since both sides are being pushed towards each other.
