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.
Can metals bend?
Yes, many metals can bend, even without being heated (eg. Copper). These are called malleable metals.
What generalizations can you make about transition metals?
Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. They tend to be shiny and conduct thermal energy well.Hope this helps!~ I first I didn't get it either. : )
What objects under tension?
tension is the opposite of compression, so it would be anything pulling in an object; cables on a bridge, a zipline, even when you reach out to grab something! there is so many things that are under tension or compression that are all around us.
What is tinsmithing?
Smithing is the act of working metals (as performed by a Smith). Tinsmithing refers to the working of light or white metals such as Tin.
Is brick stronger than metal?
Brick will usually be stronger in compression, but metals will usually be stronger in tension.
What metals have tension?
Almost all metals can resist tension. Obviously, room temperature fluid metals such as mercury will not resist tension when they are in a liquid state, but otherwise, if you pull on it, it will pull back.
What metals are strong in room temperature?
Metals like steel are strong in room temperature. If you want anymore, search for metals as strong as steel :)
What is the use of metal in a aeroplane?
Making a plane out of metal parts may seem strange when you want to make something light. However, metals are generally very strong compared to their weight and very good under tension. Therefore aluminum and titanium are good metals to make parts of planes as they are comparatively light (dense) and very strong. Modern planes also use carbon allotropes in their construction because carbon too is light and strong in tension.
What property of what gives it a strong surface tension?
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
What does Mercury stick to?
Mercury has a strong affinity for certain metals, such as gold, silver, and aluminum. This property allows it to form alloys, called amalgams, with these metals. Additionally, Mercury forms a slight meniscus at the edge of solid surfaces due to its high surface tension.
How can you tell that metals are strong?
not sure
Does octane have a strong surface tension?
The surface tension of iso-octane at 20 0C is 18,77 dyn/cm.
Why metals are conductors of electricity?
they have a strong hold of electrons!!!
Disadvantages of using metals in construction?
Some metals are not strong enough to be able to hold tons of weight
What is a strong fiber?
A strong fiber is one that soes not break under tension easily. Some examples of strong fibers are:kevlarhempcarbonglassspiders silk
What property's of water gives it a strong surface?
Water forms hydrogen bonds, which gives it a strong surface tension.
