What type of stress is exhibited by two force vectors acting on the same line, inward?
Compression
Torsion
Shear
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Type of Stress
When two force vectors act on the same line and are directed inward towards each other, they create a type of stress that compresses the material along the line of action of the forces.
Step 2: Define Compression Stress
Compression stress occurs when forces act towards each other along the same line, causing the material to be squeezed or compressed.
Step 3: Compare with Other Stress Types
Torsion involves twisting forces.
Shear involves forces acting parallel but in opposite directions, causing sliding.
