(a) torsion member (B) compression member (c) tension member
​

Answer 1

Answer:

torsion member is the answer

Answer 2

A tie member is a tension member.

Explanation:

• Tension members in trusses are referred to as ties.
• These are the structural elements which are subjected to axial tensile forces.
• Some Examples of tension members includes bracing for buildings and bridges, truss members, and cables in suspended roof systems.
• These are the members which are being stretched.
• It is an industry convention that the arrows are shown pulling in on their own.
• This is in contrast to the tension in a beam in which the tension forces pull outwards from the beam as represented in the bottom diagram.
• Hence, the correct answer among all the options is tension member.
