Consider the figure below.

$($a$)$ Find the tension in each cable supporting the $572$ N cat burglar. $($Assume the angle $\backslash (\backslash$theta $\backslash )$ of the inclined cable is $\backslash (34\mathrm{.}0^\{\backslash$circ$\}\backslash ).)$ inclined cable Your response differs from the correct answer by more than $10\backslash \%.$ Double check your calculations. N

horizontal cable vertical cable $\backslash ($ x $\backslash )$ Your response differs from the correct answer by more than $\backslash (10\backslash \%\backslash ).$ Double check your calculations, 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?
