Problem

A streetlamp of weight 50 N50\,\text{N} is hung by two identical ropes, each making an angle θ\theta with the horizontal. If θ\theta is increased from 30∘30^{\circ} to 60∘60^{\circ} while the weight remains the same, what happens to the tension in each rope? a) It decreases b) It remains unchanged at 25 N25\,\text N in each rope c) It increases, nearly doubling d) It becomes roughly half of its original value
