The Inca people were the first to build a suspension bridge. The date of when they started building them is unknown but it predates 1532.

What are the three types of non metallic suspension?

The three types of non-metallic suspensions are polymer-based suspensions, colloidal suspensions, and solid-liquid suspensions. Polymer-based suspensions involve polymers that can stabilize solid particles within a liquid medium. Colloidal suspensions consist of very small particles dispersed in a liquid, which do not settle out quickly. Solid-liquid suspensions contain larger solid particles that are suspended in a liquid but can settle over time due to gravity.


What ancient people added to bridge technology and how?

The Romans improved this Bridges technology by engineering, architecture, & literature. Engineering included aqueducts and roads. Architecture helped with columns, archways, and domes on building.


Can Suspensions may also be called emulsions?

No, suspensions and emulsions are different types of mixtures. Suspensions are mixtures in which solid particles are dispersed in a liquid, while emulsions are mixtures of two or more liquids that are immiscible.


Are colloid particles bigger smaller or equal in size compared to those of suspensions?

Colloid particles are smaller than suspensions particles.


How can calloids be distinguished from suspensions?

Colloids have particles evenly dispersed in a medium, giving a stable mixture. Suspensions have larger particles that settle out over time, causing the mixture to separate. This can be observed by the clarity of the liquid: colloids are usually translucent, while suspensions are cloudy.

What was a advancement in bridge design that was pioneered by the roman engineers?

The arch. Without the arch the Romans would never have been able to build many things that were needed. They also invented cement that could set in water which also helped in building bridges.


How are suspension used?

Suspensions are used in pharmacy to deliver insoluble drugs in liquid form for easy administration. In automotive systems, suspensions are used to absorb shock and maintain stability by allowing the wheels to move independently. In engineering, suspensions are also used in buildings and bridges to dampen vibrations and reduce structural stress.
