A chandelier of mass  18kg hangs from a cable that is attached to a ceiling. The chandelier is at rest and initially the cable hangs vertically. Alice climbs up the stairs to a height level that is close to the chandelier's height. She then pulls the chandelier to one side using a hook, to bring the chandelier closer to her so she can replace a light bulb. The force that Alice exerts on the chandelier is in the horizontal direction and has magnitude 42 N.
