Tension 3.0

I asked several people what they thought of when hearing 'tension.' The engineers of the bunch replied with answers regarding physics and ropes being pulled. Tension is a force, or a measure of a force that tends to stretch or elongate something [dictionary.com]. And so, this is a simple picture of tension on two pieces of rope [T] hold up an object. The Ty and Tx are the vertical and horizontal components of T, and using those you can find the tension of the ropes. Which according to spark notes [which is where I found this] equals 34.6N. Therefore, tension can also be thought of in a scientific way.
