Having trouble understanding description of tidal forces acting on a body in a singularity.

In describing a black hole and its immense tidal gravity, how do you describe the forces acting on a body as it approaches the singularity?

Here is the phrase I am trying to understand:
"This creates a tension gradient across the object parallel to any radii colinear with both the object's center and the singularity."
