Tension force is the force transmitted through rope, wire, or other similar long objects as it's pulled tight from opposite ends. This force is directed along the length and pulls on the objects on either end.

What is the definition for the term force?
The scientific definition of force is: the push or pull of an object.
Why are Arch bridges made of stone?
It's all about compression and tension. Compression is the force pushing in on an object. If you sit in a chair your weight is a compressive force on the chair. Tension is the force pulling on an object. If you hang from a rope your weight puts the rope in tension. Stone is very strong under compression but can break easily under tension. An arch bridge only has compression forces within it so stone is a good material for an arch bridge.
What is the definition for resistance force?
it means powerful
What are the type of forces?
There are many types of forces: friction, spring, gravity, buoyancy, tension, drag, applied, upthrust and elastic.
The foreign policy of extending a nation's territory by military force and establishing colonies?
Definition of Imperialism.
What is a kids definition for surface tension?
surface tension is a force present within the surface layer of a liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet.
Is the force called tension?
No, but force can result in tension.
Is tension a scalar or vector?
tension is a vector!(At first I thought it was a scalar too but this afternoon it was in our physics quiz,I answered scalar but I got it wrong because tension is a vector).this is the explanation:tension is the force producing such deformation.anything with force is a vector.Force always has direction.
What are two types of elastic forces?
compression and tension Compression is a squeezing force, while tension is a pulling force.
What is the force tension?
When a force is applied on a string, a restoring force is developed in it in opposite direction of external force.This restoring force of string is tension.
What is the difference between torsion force and tension force?
if the force twists an obect, it is called torsion and if the force that stretches an object is called tension.
Is tension and compression a force?
Yes.They are force.
Is elastic force a contact force or a non- contact force?
A spring force is a contact force not a non-contact force.
How tension in string is nonconservative force?
No, the force in tension of a string is not conservative. The only non-conservative force acting is the tension force, but it acts perpendicular to the path of the object at every instant, and so it does zero work.
Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
What is stretching force?
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.
