A truss is facing a two force member and both of them are in the opposite directions. And the truss is in equilibrium. And both of them are getting away from each other.The forces are called? Correct Answer Tensile Forces

If two forces are in the opposite directions. And are collinear too. Then the truss is getting a tensile stress. As the forces are trying to increase the length of the truss. Hence if the two force members are in such conditions the forces are tensile forces.
