Definiciones de tensión y tensión superficial en internet

(versión agosto 2019)

Tensión

A) Tensión (mecánica). En el ámbito de la física, se denomina tensión a la fuerza que es ejercida

mediante la acción de un cable, cuerda, cadena u otro objeto sólido similar. Es el resultado de la
atracción electrostática entre las partículas de un sólido cuando es deformado de manera que las
partículas se separan unas de otras apartándose de su posición de equilibrio, en la cual esta fuerza
se encuentra balanceada por la repulsión a causa de las capas de electrones;

Tension

I) 1530s, "a stretched condition," from Middle French tension (16c.) or directly from Latin tensionem
(nominative tensio) "a stretching" (in Medieval Latin "a struggle, contest"), noun of state from tensus,
past participle of tendere "to stretch," from PIE root *ten- "to stretch."
(https://www.etymonline.com/word/tension)
II) (i) Condition of being held in a state between two or more forces, which are acting in opposition to
each other. (ii) (physics, engineering) State of an elastic object which is stretched in a way which
increases its length (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tension)
III) (i) Tension (T) can be a "support" that acts in opposition to weight (w). (ii) Tension can also exist in

Surface tension

1) is a contractive tendency of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension)
2) is measured as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit of area
(http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/tension.html)
3) is the energy, or work, required to increase the surface area of a liquid due to intermolecular forces

ohesive_And_Adhesive_Forces/Surface_Tension)
4) the natural force existing in a liquid that holds its surface together
(http://dictionary.cambridge.org/es/diccionario/britanico/surface-tension)
5) the force that causes the molecules on the surface of a liquid to be pushed together and form a
layer. the attractive force exerted upon the surface molecules of a liquid by the molecules beneath that
tends to draw the surface molecules into the bulk of the liquid and makes the liquid assume the shape
having the least surface area (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/surface%20tension)
