The tension at $x=L$ is undefined, but may be any positive value. The model is called the ``piston'' model because it resembles a frictionless piston sliding in a rigid cylinder of length $L$. +$$ + F = \begin{cases} + 0 & \text{if $xL$}. + \end{cases} +$$ Note that because of it's infinte stiffness at $x=L$, fully extended domains with this tension model will be identical to completely rigid
