A 59.2 kg cat burglar is supported by cables as shown in the figure below. Assume the angle ? of the inclined cable is 34.0

A 59.2 kg cat burglar is supported by cables as shown in the figure below. Assume the angle ? of the inclined cable is 34.0 degree . Suppose the horizontal cable were reattached higher up on the wall. Would the tension in the inclined cable increase, decrease, or stay the same? You get ONE SUBMISSION. Don't just guess at this answer. Redraw a free body diagram if the cable on the left is not horizontal. What happens to the tension in the upper wire to keep the system in "equilibrium" with zero acceleration? a.) increase b.)decrease c.) stay the same

Explanation / Answer

a)1) Let tension in inclined cable be T

T sin34 = mg

so T = 1037.5 N

2) horizontal cable tension be t

t = Tcos34

so t = 860.13 N

3) Vertical cable tension T = mg = 580.16N

b)Decrease

c) I dint get what you mean by uooer wire, if its inclined wire then tension decreases, if it is vertical wire tension stays the same.
