- The figure below shows a bird feeder that weighs 101.1 N. The feeder is supported by a vertical wire, which is in turn tied to two wires, each of which is attached to a horizontal support. The left wire makes a 60° angle with the support, while the right wire makes a 30° angle. What is the tension in each wire (in N)? A bird feeder is suspended from a vertical wire. The top of the wire is tied to two other wires. The left and right wires go up and to the left and up and to the right, respectively, from the connection point to a horizontal support.
