tensionless

Completely at ease

Tensionless describes something without tension—slack, relaxed, or free from strain.

A tensionless rope hangs loose rather than taut.

The word appears in physics and engineering for systems where forces are balanced or absent: a tensionless string in theoretical mechanics.

Figuratively, it can describe situations lacking conflict or stress, though this use is uncommon.
