What shapes are strong in tension or strong in compression?
Shapes like triangles are strong in tension and compression due to their ability to distribute forces evenly across their three sides, preventing deformation. Arches and domes are also effective in compression, as their curved structure efficiently transfers loads downward. In contrast, long and slender shapes, like beams, are typically stronger in tension than compression, as they can withstand stretching forces better than buckling under compressive loads. Overall, the geometric configuration plays a crucial role in determining a shape's strength in tension or compression.
Which metals are strong in tension?
Steel and Titanium
Compression tension and shearing are three types of?
stress
What are the 4 internal forces that act on a structures?
compression&torsion&tension&bending
How does a retractable spring mechanism work?
There's a flat torsion spring fixed on both the outter wall of a spinning disk or whatever the part that is turning is. The center of the spring is then fixed on a stationary point. When the disk turns the spring is put under tension and when released will go back to its original starting position.
When an object is being stretched it is said to be in?
tension; under a tensile stress ========================
Is tension an invisible force?
Tension is not an invisible force. It is a force that occurs when objects are pulled in opposite directions, causing them to stretch. While tension itself cannot be seen, its effects on objects can be observed.
What force do I use to stretch objects?
Tension.
How do you calculate the tension between two objects?
To calculate the tension between two objects, you can use the formula T mg ma, where T is the tension, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and a is the acceleration of the object.
Is kinetic energy tension between 2 objects?
that is friction
What is the name of an energy that is stored in objects by tension?
elastic potential
Where is the tension bolt on a 1994 Lexus ES300?
What tension bolt? There are many bolts under tension.
What fault moves because it is under tension.?
normal
What fluid force allows objects to float?
Cohension; surface tension
Are straws stronger under tension or compression?
Straws are typically stronger under tension, which means they are better at withstanding a pulling force rather than a pushing force. This is because the material of the straw is more likely to deform or buckle under compression rather than stretch or break under tension.
Where does tension occur in objects?
Tension occurs in objects when something is pushing or pulling against something that is pulling the opposite way. Like a seagull gliding through the air or a book getting slid across carpet.
What properties of liquids make it support heavier objects like a thin film over it?
Liquids have cohesive forces that allow them to stick together and provide surface tension. This surface tension can support lighter objects by creating a thin film that can hold them up. Additionally, the viscosity of liquids helps to stabilize objects placed on their surface by preventing them from sinking.
