In the first chapter of A Separate Peace, John Knowles creates tension by providing details about the setting at the boys' school, Devon.

These details set the stage for the underlying conflicts and themes that will unfold throughout the novel.
Depending upon the context, "escalating" or "increasing" may work. For example, "Tension is mounting between X and Y." "Tension is escalating between X and Y.

In the sentence, "Bob fell while mounting his bicycle," "hanging" clearly doesn't work. In that case, "getting on" works well as a synonym.
Details that show tension
To adjust the tension on the power steering belt of a 1979 Silverado, first, locate the power steering pump and loosen the mounting bolts that secure it. Then, gently push the pump toward the engine to increase tension on the belt.

Finally, check the tension again to ensure it remains correct.

To tighten the fan belt on a Vauxhall Vectra, locate the alternator, which typically has an adjustable mounting bracket. Loosen the securing bolts on the alternator to allow for movement.

Check the belt tension by pressing down on it; it should have a slight give but not be overly loose.
