Initial Tension in Measurement of Distance with Tapes Formulas

Initial Tension is the initial force or stress applied to a structural element or a component of a structure before it undergoes any external loading. And is denoted by P_i. Initial Tension is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Initial Tension is always positive.
