Meaning
Tension is a force on an object which acts to stretch that object.
About Tensions
- Tension is a force so it is measured in Newtons.
- Tension is a contact force because it exists within a material.
- Tension is often used to describe the force in a cable or wire.
- Tension is caused by an equilibrium pair of forces which is a force at each end of the object acting with the same magnitude but in opposite directions.
