How does temperature affect compressive stress in materials?

4. How does temperature affect compressive stress in materials?

1. Higher temperature increases compressive stress
2. Temperature does not affect compressive stress
3. Lower temperature increases compressive stress
4. Temperature decreases compressive stress

Answer

The correct answer is: A) Higher temperature increases compressive stress

Explanation

Increased temperature has the potential to deteriorate materials and lessen their resistance to compressive strain. The change in material characteristics at high temperatures and thermal expansion are the causes of this.
