Two steel wines support a moveable overhead camera weighing W = 28 lb (see figure part a) used For close-up to viewing of field action at sporting, events. At some instant, wire I is at an angle a = 22° to the horizontal and wire 2 is at angle fi = 40°. Wires I and 2 have diameters of 30and 35 mils, respectively.
