Question

Which type of stress is shown in the image?

A. Compression stress
B. Uniform stress
C. Shear stress
D. Tension stress

please help :(​

Answer 1

A. Compression stress

Step-by-step explanation:

Compression stress occurs when slabs of rock are pushing into one another. They crumple together and deform, like cars in a head-on collision.

Answer 2

The type of stress shown in the figure is compression stress.

Explanation:

The Stress that is responsible for the change in shape of the material is called as Compression Stress. The compression stress also reduces the volume of the material. Compression force is responsible for compression stress.

When compression stress is applied on a brittle material ,it shatters into small pieces due to the sudden release the energy stored in the material. However when Compression stress is applied on a ductile material the material undergoes compression. The unit compression stress is Pascal(Pa) or
`N m^(2)`.

Mathematically, Compression stress can be calculated by using

`\sigma=(F)/(A)`

Where

F= Compression force

A= unit area

`\sigma`= compressive stress
