Question

Consider the figure below. An illustration shows a burglar suspended from the lower end of a vertical cable. The upper end of the cable is attached to one end of a horizontal cable and one end of a diagonal cable. The horizontal cable extends to the left and terminates at a vertical wall. The diagonal cable extends upward and to the right and terminates at a horizontal surface with which it forms an angle θ. (a) Find the tension in each cable supporting the 608-N cat burglar. (Assume the angle θ of the inclined cable is 32.0°.) inclined cable N horizontal cable N vertical cable N (b) Suppose the horizontal cable were reattached higher up on the wall. Would the tension in the inclined cable increase, decrease, or stay the same? increase decrease stay the same
