The number of strings in a system does not directly affect the tension. Instead, the tension is determined by the force applied to the system and the properties of the strings, such as their length and elasticity.
The mass of the object does not directly affect the tension. However, the weight of the object does contribute to the overall force applied to the system, which can affect the tension in the strings.
The tension in a string is directly proportional to its length. This means that as the length of the string increases, so does the tension, and vice versa.
The more elastic a string is, the greater its ability to stretch and absorb force. This means that a string with high elasticity will experience less tension compared to a less elastic string when the same force is applied.
No, the tension in a system can never be greater than the applied force. This is because the string can only stretch or compress to a certain extent before reaching its breaking point. Once the applied force exceeds the tension limit of the string, it will break and the tension will be released.
