Explain the concept of tension force?
Answers
Explanation:
Tension Force. The tension force is defined as the force that is transmitted through a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides. ... Hence, tension can only pull an object.
Tension Force- It is the intermolecular force that is generated inside string or rope when the striny is taut or tight.
Extra Information-
=> In general we take a string to be ideal which mean it is massless and inextensible.
=> The force that is generated at the end of a taut string is tension.
=> The tension is always generated in such a manner that it tries to pull the object and always directed away from the body.
=> If a force is directly applied on the string than tension in the string will be equal to force applied.
=> Each string has a maximum tension which a string can bear and that limit is called breaking strength of the string.
