Capulet: How long is't now since last yourself and I were in a mask?

2nd Capulet: By'r lady, thirty years.

If it was thirty years since Capulet was last at a party in a mask he can be no younger than his late forties, probably older (since why should he not continue appearing in a mask into his twenties?).

That makes him a lot older than his wife who had Juliet when she was Juliet's age. This makes her twice Juliet's age, or about twenty-six.

What created the tremendous tension between Nurse and Juliet in scene five?

At first the Nurse was talking Juliet into marrying Romeo, but then she changed her opinion.
