Answer 1

Answer:

It's normal to the cross-section and causes bending which induces tensile as well as compressive stresses in it tensile

Answer 2

Answer:

Tensile

Explanation:

It's normal to the cross-section and causes bending which induces tensile as well as compressive stresses in it. Thus the strain is tensile.
