another problem I am stumped on

[strugglin-physics]

A 26.5 kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling on a vertical 4.11 m long wire. What horizontal force would be necessary to displace its position 0.100 m to one side?

What will be the tension in the wire?

I'm really confused about how to use the available information especially the length of the wire.

Note that the sum of the forces acting on the chandelier must be zero. Also, force is a vector and one of the forces is horizontal while a second is vertical. How the length enters should become apparent once you've completed the force balance! :-)

Could you be referring to the use of vector componants to solve the equation?
