Tension
What is Tension
In physics, tension is the amount of force acting in two different directions. A pulley for example, conserves a lot of tension. For ropes or anything that has to do with pulling things tight they can only hold so much tension before they break. Tension come from to forces pulling on one object in different directions.
How does pulling on the skate lace cause tension in the lace?
When the skate lace is pulled it causes tension in the laces which pulls the boot tighter to your foot. The tighter you pull on the hockey lace the more tension is in the lace. When you pull the lace you can feel the boot get tighter and tighter. Tension pulls equally on each sides of the string, or in this case the hockey laces.
