The figure below shows a bird feeder that weighs 177.7 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)?
left wire= ? N
right wire= ?N
bottom wire= ?N
While wandering through the wastelands of a post-apocalyptic Earth, Mad Max sees a sign at a gas station. A 15.0kg, 2.50m horizontal pole is held against a vertical wall by a bracket.
