If the object hangs from a weightless string or thread, the tension in
the thread is equal to the weight of the object.
If there is weight distributed all the way from the ceiling to the bottom of
whatever is hanging, then the tension at every point is equal to the weight
of everything below that point.

How do i calculate tension?
It really depends what information you are given. Quite often, you can use the fact that for an object to remain static (which implies it doesn't accelerate), the sum of forces on the object must needs be zero.
Is tension force an balanced or unbalanced force?

How to calculate the magnitude of the tension of a string?
Calculate the magnitude of the tension in a string by drawing a free body diagram, and then using the formula T = mg + ma.You can calculate the magnitude of the tension in a string by first drawing a Free body diagram, and then using the formula T = mg + ma.
Formula of tension in physics?
The formula of tension, which is a force, is F=ma. So when an object is being pulled in two separate directions with equal tensions, the object remains motionless.
What is stress that occures when forces act to stretch an object?
The answer is tension
What forces are acting on a hanging pen?
When a pen is hanging, two forces act on it - the upthrust and the force of tension in the string.
What is the internal state tension?

What is tension and compression?
Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.

What is the hanging wall slides downward caused by tension in the crust?
A normal fault
What type of fault is tension associated with hanging wall?
the upper wall of an inclined fault
