Transcript text: 173 points 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.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Compression}}\)
