	<onlyinclude>'''Tension''' is a [[force]] associated with the pulling of an object such as a rope, cable, or chain. It is very similar to [[elastic potential energy]].</onlyinclude> Once an object is stretched out and put under tension it will naturally return to its relaxed length as soon as it is free of this force. Tension inside of a rope or similar object is modeled by [[atom]]s being slightly stretched apart as if connected by tiny springs. Pulling on the ends of the rope stretches these springs ever so slightly, and the tension force is the net spring force exerted by the billions of microscopic springs.<ref name=Knight>R. D.
