What is the equation to find the force
Tension force is a pulling force that acts on an object in a direction that is away from the center of the object.
Tension force and compression force are both types of internal forces that act on an object. Tension force pulls an object apart, while compression force pushes an object together.
The magnitude of tension force is affected by the weight of the object, the angle of the rope or cable, and the tightness of the rope or cable.
According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of tension force, when an object pulls on a rope or cable, the rope or cable pulls back with an equal force in the opposite direction.
Tension force is used in a variety of everyday objects such as bridges, cranes, and elevators. It is also used in sports equipment like ropes and cables for rock climbing and zip lining.
