As is the case with most liquids, water resistance being compressed due to forces between molecules that prevent them from being pressed closer together. However, water can be compressed, but it will take a large amount of pressure for a minimal amount of compression.

What state of matter is a material most likely to resist compression?

The state of matter a material is most likely to resist compression is liquid. Liquids cannot be compressed and this is what supports hydraulics.


What is the strongest structure?

It depends on the kinds of stresses the structure is expected to resist. To resist cantilever stresses (bending - a combination of compression, tension, and sheer), the octet-truss is the strongest possible structure. To resist only tension a straight line, such as a cable, is the optimum structural geometry; and to resist only compression a lorimerlite framework is the strongest structural geometry.

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.

How do bones resist both compression and tension stress?

Bones can resist compression because it is made up of extracellular matrix and cells. Bones are also flexible and strong.


Why can you not compress 2 liters of water into 1 liter?

water is a non compressible fluid. The molecules will resist compression much more than those of a gas. You can compress it, but only with an insane amount of force, much more than any human or machine couldaccomplish.
