What is compression force?

• The force that acts on an object to stretch it.

• The force that acts on an object to rotate it.

• The force that acts on an object to heat it up.

• The force that acts on an object to compress or squeeze it.

What is shear force?

• Force acting perpendicular to a surface causing deformation or sliding

• Force acting away from a surface causing deformation or sliding

• Force acting at an angle to a surface causing deformation or sliding

• Force acting parallel to a surface causing deformation or sliding

What is bending force?

• The force applied to an object that causes it to rotate.

• The force applied to an object that causes it to stretch.

• The force applied to an object that causes it to break.

• The force applied to an object that causes it to bend or deform.

How do you calculate the force exerted by an object?

• force = mass / acceleration

• force = mass + acceleration

• force = mass - acceleration

• force = mass x acceleration
