Difference between tension and compression zone

Answer Posted / engineernaveed78

Tensional forces,
Tension is only valid in solid strings.
In tension, the force acting on the object is always outward from the object

Compressinal force,
In compression, the force acting on the object is inward to the object. It shortens the object.
Compression can be used to transfer force as pressure in hydraulic systems
