What is stronger wood or metal?
no wood is not stronger than steel. yes becasue steel is stronger than wood.
Is brick stronger than metal?
Brick will usually be stronger in compression, but metals will usually be stronger in tension.
Can the surface tension of water be made stronger?
yes with baby powder
What is stronger wood pulp or plant fiber?
yes
What is tension zone?
A2. In a beam supported at both its ends the lower half of the beam will be under tension, and the upper half of the beam will be under compression.
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 tension boomilever stronger than compression boomilevers?
Yes. This is because the strength of wood when compressed, decreases per length unit the longer the piece of wood is. However, wood holds the same strength in tension no matter the length. In the compression boomilever, the compression chord is longer than in the tension boomilever.
Should the wood for the catapult be light or heavy?
Heavy, light wood is likely to break or snap under tension.
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.
Why is tensile strength stronger than compressive strength?
Neither tensile strength nor compressive strength is inherently "stronger." Some materials are stronger in tension; other materials are stronger in compression. For example, rope is much stronger in tension than in compression, but concrete is much stronger in compression than in tension.
What is stronger wood or metal?
no wood is not stronger than steel. yes becasue steel is stronger than wood.
Which glue is stronger cement glue or wood glue?
Well it depends what you are using it for to me Wood clue is stronger.
When an object is being stretched it is said to be in?
tension; under a tensile stress ========================
What wood is stronger bulsa or pine?

What does baby powder do to water's surface tension?
Makes it stronger
