Compressive force well
decrease the length of
material on which it
acts
The expression means that when a compressive force is applied to a material, it tends to shorten or reduce its
length. This occurs because the force pushes particles of the material closer together. For example, when you
squeeze a sponge, it compresses and becomes shorter. Similarly, in construction, when a column supports a load,
it experiences compressive forces that can lead to shortening or buckling if the load exceeds its capacity.
