A 540 N cat burglar is supported by cables in the figure below.Assume the angle ? of the inclined cable is 38.0°.

(a) Find the tension in each cable.
inclined cable _____________________N
horizontal cable ____________________N
vertical cable ______________________N

(b) Suppose the horizontal cable were reattached higher up on thewall. Would the tension in the inclined cable increase, decrease,or stay the same?

increase
decrease
stay the same
