To determine compression and tension in trusses, you can analyze the forces acting on the members using the method of joints or method of sections. By calculating the forces in each member, you can identify which members are in compression (pushing) and which are in tension (pulling).
What else can I help you with?
There is tension and compression and torsion and what else?
Bending is another common stress that materials experience, in addition to tension, compression, and torsion. When a material undergoes bending, one part of it is in tension while the other part is in compression due to the applied load or moment.
How can one determine the tension in a string?
To determine the tension in a string, you can use the formula T F L, where T is the tension, F is the force applied to the string, and L is the length of the string. By measuring the force and length, you can calculate the tension in the string.
What is the distance from the compression to the next compression in longitudinal wave called?
The distance from one compression to the next compression in a longitudinal wave is called the wavelength. This distance is often used to measure the size of the wave and determine its frequency.
How can one determine the tension in an Atwood machine?
To determine the tension in an Atwood machine, you can use the formula T (m1 - m2) g / (m1 m2), where T is the tension, m1 is the mass of one object, m2 is the mass of the other object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. This formula helps calculate the tension in the rope connecting the two masses in the Atwood machine.
What is an example of tension?
If you pull on a string with both hands, one at either end, the string is in tension. If you pull directly along its axis on any object that is attached to ground you put it in tension. If you push it is in compression

When you bend a meterstick one side is under tension and the other is under compression which side is which?
The part bent on the outside of the curve is in tension. The inner curved part, which is pushed in, is in compression.
Singly reinforced beam definition?
singly reinforcement beam have steel provided only one side tension an another side compression. tension takes steel load or tensile load and compression takes concrete or compressive load.

Why steel is used to reinforce concrete explain it?
There are two main loading conditions that concrete under goes. These are Compression and Tension. Concrete is very strong in compression and is very weak in Tension (pulling apart). Concrete has so little strength to resist tension it is assumed to have no strength in tension. When civil engineers design concrete structures they can determine where the tension and compression will be located. Steel is added to give the concrete tensile strength. For Example a concrete beam when loaded from the top will experience compression on top section of the beam. The top portion of the beam will push inwards creating compression while the bottom section will pull apart creating tension. (Imagine a smile shape). :) Therefore reinforcement will be needed in the tension area (bottom).
What is compression zone and tension zone?
In snow avalanches, when friction or other mechanical stops are not enough to hold it in place, and the angle is prime, it is held in place by tension and compression. The tension zones, are convex parts near the top and sides of the slide path; and compression zones, are the concave parts near the bottom and sides of the path. Snow is weak in tension and stronger in compression. If the load of snow on the slope has a lubricating layer, underneath it, and a good running surface, at sliding angle (38 degrees is prime), then the only thing hold the snow from sliding is the tension at the top, and the compression at the bottom. Upset this balance by either skiing through (cutting) one zone or the other, or use explosive in one of the zones, and you will have created a slab avalanche. In avalanche control they are often referred to as the "sweet spot"
What is tension force and compression force?
Tension forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (away from one another) to stretch the object. Compression forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (towards one another) to compress or deform the object.
Why use rebar in concrete?
Concrete is good in compression, poor in tension. Steel is good in tension, poor in tension. By the addition of reinforcing steel into concrete, you take the strengths of one material and marry it to the weakness of the other. This provides a better product capable of better performance in the field.
Why is curvature a basic requirement in membrane structural systems that make use of the tensile strength and those that make use of the compressive strength of building materials?
Generally when predominantly vertical loads (such as self weight and weight of occupants) act on a horizontal structure, the structure is subject to bending (compression on one side and tension on other). In order to manifest reaction to load by tension or compression, the structure should be sub-horizontal. This happens in arches, trusses, suspensions, shells, folded plates and membranes. More technically, direct-stress structural forms need to have structural members that are not transverse to the plane of loading, so that resultants of direct stresses are formed in resolution against loads.
