Top Questions on tension
A body of mass 1kg is suspended with the help of two strings making angles as shown in the figure. Magnitude of tensions $ T_1 $ and $ T_2 $, respectively, are (in N):
- Tension of a rope when a man of mass \( m \) climbs up or down with an acceleration \( a<g \)?
- In a vertical circle of radius r, at what point in its path does a particle have tension equal to zero if it is just able to complete the vertical circle?
- If the length of a string is \(P\) when the tension in it is 6 N and its length is \(Q\) when the tension in it is 8 N, then the original length of the string is:
- A bob is whirled in a horizontal plane by means of a string with an initial speed of ω rpm. The tension in the string is T. If speed becomes 2ω while keeping the same radius, the tension in the string becomes:

Concepts Used:
Tension
A force working along the length of a medium, especially if this force is carried by a flexible medium like cable or rope is called tension. The flexible cords which bear muscle forces to other parts of the body are called tendons.
Net force = 𝐹𝑛𝑒𝑡 = 𝑇−𝑊=0,
