Answer 1

${\huge{\rm{\underbrace{Core\checkmark}}}}$

• The centrally located portion of a within which the load must act so as to produce only compressive stress is called a core of the section.

Answer 2

The correct answer is core.

The correct sentence is: The centrally located portion of a section within which the load must act so as to produce only compressive stress is called core.

• This question belongs to the chapter that is known as the theory of structures in physics.
• A core is inside a structure that is situated at the center and creates pressure towards the surface of the structure.

• The formula for a structure that is in a rectangle shape is:-  $e\leq \frac{d}{6}$ or $e\leq \frac{b}{6}$
• The formula for a structure that is in a circular shape is:- $e\leq \frac{D}{8}$
• The core of the structure provides tension to the upper surface.
• Hence, the correct answer is core.
