Which of the following factors does NOT affect the tension in a string?

• Mass of the object being pulled

• Coefficient of friction between surfaces

• Length of the string

• Acceleration of the object

A block is at rest on an inclined plane. What role does friction play in this scenario?

• Increases the tension in the block

• Decreases the tension in the block

• Prevents the block from sliding down

• Has no effect on the block
