Help  How to find out the rope tension

x is the length of the rope in meters, at rest, so if it's 1 it means your rope is 1 meter long.
y would be the current length of the rope including stretching/compression. So if your rope is stretched and its rest length is 1, y will always be larger than 1.

I'm not sure I understood your question... the tension force of a rope is a force, if you remove it then the rope will basically collapse under its own weight due to gravity. What you want to find is strain, that is the amount of elongation the rope is undergoing, expressed as a percentage. It can be calculated like this:

Code:
float strain = rope.restLength / rope.CalculateLength();

strain will be 1 if the rope is not elongated with respect to its rest length, 1.20 if it's elongated by 20%, 1.30 if it's elongated by 30% etc.

kind regards,
I need the rope, which is already hooked, not to stretch when pulling the other one, but to uncouple the hook, how do I know when to uncouple
