# A person pulls a rope with a force \( F \) at an angle of \( 60^\circ \) to the horizontal. The rope is connected to a load over a frictionless pulley as shown in the diagram. The load is stationary. Which of the following is correct about the weight of the load and the net force exerted on the pulley by the rope?

A person pulls a rope with a force \( F \) at an angle of \( 60^\circ \) to the horizontal. The rope is connected to a load over a frictionless pulley as shown in the diagram. The load is stationary. Which of the following is correct about the weight of the load and the net force exerted on the pulley by the rope?

![Diagram](https://nerd-notes.com/wp-content/uploads/ubq-diagrams/nerd-notes-diagram-57243-1777289376-PaQi7c.jpg)

- **A.** Load weight is **Less** than \( F \) and net force exerted is **Less** than \( 2F \)
- **B.** Load weight **Less** than \( F \) and net force exerted is **Equal** to \( 2F \)
- **C.** Load weight **Equal** to \( F \) and net force exerted is **Less** than \( 2F \)
- **D.** Load weight **Equal** \( F \) and net force exerted is **Equal** to \( 2F \)
