Evaluate the tension in each wire supporting the street lamp

Reference no: EM13659506

A street lamp weighs 160 Newton. It is supported by two wires that form an angle of 100 degree with each other. The tensions in the wires are the same.

(a) Evaluate the tension in each wire supporting the street lamp?

(b) If the angle between the wires supporting the street lamp is reduced to 70 degree, evaluate what is the tension in each wire?
