Im building a bench. Im using 2"x10" pine. Is 5' between braces strong enough?
It depends on how many boards your are putting on your bench.
To give you an idea, I ran through some quick numbers for you.
@ 5'. one 2" x 10" x ?? pine board assuming a 400lb load (2-3 people) you will have deflection of .42" PER board which is fine. Less than 1/2 inch.
@ 4' your deflection is reduced to .22" PER board which is even better. You really shouldn't have a problem at 5', unless a 400lb guy jumps on the middle of your bench.
The maximum weight it will take in the middle before fracture is 688 lb @ 5'/brace and 860 @ 4'...and keep in mind this is per board so if you have two....you should be fine.
This is as long as it is standard pine. .

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.
What is the tensile strength of a 12x12x1 pine board in psi?
The tensile strength of a 12x12x1 inch pine board can vary depending on the specific type of pine and its moisture content, but it typically ranges from 8,000 to 10,000 psi. For structural pine, the tensile strength is generally around 6,000 to 7,000 psi. It's important to consult specific wood strength tables or manufacturer specifications for precise values based on the wood's grading and condition.

Do amusement parks use a special kind of wood for their wooden roller coasters?
No, they use pine. The strength of the roller coaster is not in the wood per se, but in the architecture.
Is wood stronger under tension?
Wood is stronger under compression than tension due to its cellular structure. When wood is subjected to tension, it is prone to splitting along the grain. This makes wood more vulnerable to failure under tension compared to compression.
