When people refer to the tension in a rope, string, etc...are they referring to the magnitude of the tensile force? But isn't tension a vector. So tension in general is a vector, but when referring to the tension in a rope they are talking about the magnitude?
Please clarify..
edit: btw, I'm talking about rope or string with no mass, if that makes any difference.
