Help!

Nice looking forums!

Can you help me please?

Is it...

tension on the cable

or

tension of the cable

?

Another one:

Is it...

In these conditions or under these conditions?
  

Top answer

1-- It could be either: the weight of the piano put tension on the cable or the tension of the cable caused it to begin oscillating . 2-- In or under are both used with conditions .

But are both correct in this sentece?

The stretching depends on the tension of/on the cable.

Guessing they are both correct...
