Two identical blue ropes have one end each tied to two nails on a wall at equal heights from the ground and 48 units apart. Then a circular plate is hung on these ropes such that the other ends of the ropes are attached to two points on the circumference of the plate and the ropes are perpendicular to the ground, as shown in Figure 1. Later, one of these ropes broke and the plate hung on the remaining rope, and when the rope is perpendicular to the ground, the view in Figure 2 is obtained, and the height of the plate from the ground decreased by 16 units compared to the initial situation. Accordingly, what is the radius of this plate in units? A) 25 B) 26 C) 29 D) 30 E) 32
