Yes, a cantilever bridge experiences both tension and compression. The cantilever arms, which extend horizontally from the main support, are in compression at the top due to the weight they carry, while the bottom section experiences tension as it pulls away from the support. This balance of forces allows the bridge to maintain stability and support loads effectively.

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 kind of situations would be suitable for a cantilever bridge?
long steaches of water
How the golden gate bridge gets its strength discuss forces like tension compression and torsion?
because when there is traffic( live load) driving over the bridge it causes the bridge to compress and normall would break but with suspeision cables it takes the load off the road and distributes it through the cables which demonstrate tension
What are the three different places on a bridge that would experience different forces?
The three different places on a bridge that would experience different forces are the supports (where vertical forces are highest), the center span (where compression and tension forces are highest), and the connections between bridge sections (where shear forces are highest).
Materials such as ordinary concrete and stone are very weak under tension or shear would it be wise to use such a material for either of the supports of the cantilever?
Using ordinary concrete or stone for the supports of a cantilever is not advisable due to their weak tensile and shear strength. Cantilevers rely on robust support to withstand bending and lateral forces, which typically require materials that can handle tension effectively. Reinforced concrete, which incorporates steel to counteract tensile stresses, would be a better choice for cantilever supports to ensure structural integrity and safety.
Where can a cantilever mount be bought?
There are many places where one would be able to purchase a Cantilever mount. One would be able to purchase a Cantilever mount from sites such as Amazon or eBay.
What tower supports a bridge cable?
In a standard suspension bridge the cables are supported by a Bridge Pylon or series of bridge pylons. The cables are supported upon these pylons and they serve to reduce the tension forces that would be required at the cable anchorages had the cables simply been installed straight across the bridge span.
How do you calculate the bending moment for a cantilever slab?
Max BM for a cantilever would be @ the point of support and would be equal to WL/2 where W=wL Max BM for a cantilever would be @ the point of support and would be equal to WL/2 where W=wL Edit- As said above the max bending moment for a cantilever will be at the supportFor a distributed load M=wL2/2 where w=the fractured distributed load and L= the leaver arm For a point loadM=PL where P=the point load and L= the leaver arm *Having a cantilever means you will have reinforcing in the top of the beam/slab till a distance after the beam
Where would you find tension in physics?
In physics, tension is a force that is transmitted through a system, typically through a string, rope, or cable. Tension can be found in scenarios such as a hanging weight on a rope, a tightrope walker balancing, or a suspension bridge supporting its own weight and traffic load.
What types of electronics can be mounted using the Cantilever wall mount?
The Cantilever wall mount is typically used for flat screen televisions. The manufacturers suggestion does not have any other specific electronics they would recommend the mount for.
