    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
33. 33Concrete becomes weak when it is pulled or sheared.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
34. 34 rope and chain have high tensile strength when used for a swing.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
35. 35Concrete is good for swings because it won't rot when the structure becomes wet.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
36. 36Brittle structures and objects will bend easily when torsion is enforced.

    1. AVerdadeiro

37. 37Steel has neither tensile or compression strength

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
38. 38What methods to designers use to make a good, stable structure?

    1. ADistribute the load throughout the structure so that no single part is
       carrying most of the load.
    2. BDirect the forces along angled components so that the forces hold
       pieces together instead of pulling them apart.
    3. CShape the parts to withstand the specific type of force they are likely
       to experience.
    4. DAll of the Above (or Below)

    1. AKeystone
    2. BMiddle stone
