tension when it bends the ridges are pulling apart and thats tension
Stone slabs are stronger under compression than tension. This is because most stone materials are able to withstand higher forces when being compressed rather than being pulled apart. Stress is distributed more evenly and effectively in compression, making stone slabs less likely to fail compared to tension.
Glass is stronger under compression than under tension. When subjected to compressive forces, the atoms in glass are pushed together, making it more resistant to breaking. In contrast, tension forces can cause glass to deform and eventually break due to the atoms being pulled apart.
A spring that is being squeezed or compressed is an example of an object under compression.
Bone is typically weaker under tension forces compared to compression forces. This means that bone is more likely to break or fracture when subjected to stretching or pulling forces rather than pushing or compressive forces.
Compression is pushing things together and tension is pulling things apart. A clothesline is under tension and a stack of firewood is under compression. How it affects the bridge depends on how well it is engineered. Properly built it'll hold up to its various loads w/o problems,

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.
Spaghetti is stronger under tension because spaghetti is brittle and therefore a smaller yield point. This is bad for compression because compression requires a large elastic value, which spaghetti doesn't have. Because tension hardly changes spaghetti it makes it stronger than compression.
Glass is stronger under compression than under tension. When subjected to compressive forces, the atoms in glass are pushed together, making it more resistant to breaking. In contrast, tension forces can cause glass to deform and eventually break due to the atoms being pulled apart.
The part bent on the outside of the curve is in tension. The inner curved part, which is pushed in, is in compression.
compression: the keystone in particular is under rather high compression forces.
A spring that is being squeezed or compressed is an example of an object under compression.
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.
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.
it is under compression since both sides are being pushed towards each other.

A2. In a beam supported at both its ends the lower half of the beam will be under tension, and the upper half of the beam will be under compression.
