what do you mean by tension
Answers
Tension is one of the many forms of force applied on a body. Tension is the simplest form of force applied on a body. When ever two forces act on a single body in opposite direction,at two different points but having the same line of action such that the body elongates or tend to elongate along the line of action of force.
In physics, tension is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object; tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.
