Can the Initial Tension be negative?
No, the Initial Tension, measured in Force cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Initial Tension?
Initial Tension is usually measured using the Newton[N] for Force. Exanewton[N], Meganewton[N], Kilonewton[N] are the few other units in which Initial Tension can be measured.
