The simple answer is that it depends on the amount of compressive force, the type of material the ruler is made from, and the dimensions of the ruler.
Since what I assume you're asking about is the deformation of the ruler, what you should see is that the marks on the ruler will start to get closer together as the applied compressive force increases.

Is bending a push or a pull?
It is neither; a push is compression and a pull tension; in bending one surface stretches in tension and the other surface is in compression, and the n middle does nothing. There are four things you can do to an object; push or pull, bend, shear, and twist
What happens to air temperature when it is compressed or allowed to expand?
Heats with compression, cools with expansion.
What happens to the air particles above the drumhead when the drumhead moves downward?
it makes up a series of compression and rarefaction.
What else happens to a ruler clamped on a table and pushed down with more force other than it lasting longer?
It would break. Sorry if its the oppiste I dont know what kind of ruler you have.
When you add thermal energy to a system what will happens to the kinetic energy of the molecules within the system?
if you add a thermal energy to a system then it will happens nothing because u dont no anything
What happens to air when after repeated compression and expansion?
Nothing much. Compression heats it up, expansion cools it down. Unless the machine that does the compressing and expanding add something, it'll stay exactly the same.
What happens when you lose compression?
flatulance
Compression happens during which part of the sound wave?
it happens during the trough
Where is the compression stroke located on a 1997 dodge ram 2500?
The compression stroke is not part of the engine. It is what happens when the pistons are on the upward with closed valves.See link below.The compression stroke is not part of the engine. It is what happens when the pistons are on the upward with closed valves.See link below.
What happens to volume of liquid during compression?
The volume of a liquid responds poorly to compression, but might decrease slightly.

What is the ability of a material to withstand compression called?
I believe that it would be density. The more dense a sample is the more compact the molecules are. The description of compression is to reduce by volume, so the ability to withstand compression would be the lack of room to do the compression. Can anyone add to this?
What compression is the calloway warbird golf ball?
It is a soft compression golf ball which means that it will help a golfer with slower swinging speeds add distance.
What happens when the portion of a pressure-enthalpy diagram is beneath the saturation curve?
compression
What happens to the image when the ruler moves towards you?
the image looks shortened.
What happens to an engine with compression loss?
broken rings,hole in piston,bad valves
What happens to air temperature when it is compressed or allowed to expand?
Heats with compression, cools with expansion.
