===== Tensile Force =====

**Tensile force**
  * **Tension** - Tension is when something is in the state of being stretched or bent.\\ 
  * **Torsion** - Torsion is a turning or twisting force.\\ 
  * **Stress and release** - Stress and release is the relationship between applying a force and easing/lessening a force.\\ 
  * **Equilibrium** - Equilibrium is a stable state. It is usually characterized by the cancellation of all forces by equal opposing forces. This can be similar to balance in that the forces are "balanced."
