AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a homework assignment requiring examples of products affected by various forces: tension, compression, shear, and torsion. Participants emphasize that tension examples include cables, while compression is seen in columns and brick walls. Shear forces are described as acting at 90 degrees to beams or bolts, and torsion is associated with twisted shafts or screws. There is a suggestion that further assistance will be provided once an initial attempt at the assignment is made. Engaging with the task is encouraged to facilitate better support.

Hi, I'm stuck on this homework.
I have to do this, it says

Below list other examples of products that are subject to the force in question and briefly explain how.

! Force ! Product ! Brief explanation!
tension
tension
compression
compression
shear
shear
torsion
torsion

Thats the table i have to fill inHelp?

I'm not going to do your homework for you but things in tension generally include any types of cables, compression will be columns/brick walls, shear force is a force at 90 degrees to the edge of a beam/bolt (90 degrees to the hypothetical normal force which would create tension or compression), and torsion refers to shafts/screws being twisted.

you will get more help when you have shown that you have actually made an attempt at this question.
