| Sr.No. | Tension | Compression |
| 1 | When discussing tension compression, it's crucial to understand that a tension force is one that pulls materials apart, while compression squeezes them together. | A compression force is one that squeezes material together. |
| 2 | The force that tries to elongate a body or an object is called tension. | The force that tries to shorten the body or an object is called compression. |
| 3 | Effects of Force: The overall forces are pulling away from the object | Effects of Force: The forces acting upon it are directed toward the body |
| 4 | Related to object: Can be related to pulling on the ends of a rod | Related to object: Can be associated with pushing on the ends of a rod toward the middle |
| 5 | Method: A force promulgation method | Method: Can be used to the transference of force in the hydraulic system as pressure |
| 6 | Applicable: Only applied in solid strings | Applicable: Can be valid to any material |
| 7 | Position of Applied Force: Always outward from the object | Position of Applied Force: Always inward to the object |
| 8 | Considered as: Force | Considered as: It is a phenomenon |
| 9 | Examples: Ropes, the cable of crane, nails, threads, etc | Examples: Concrete pillars |
