Ok, so what there are are two identical rods, one leaning left with 53 degrees to the horizontal, and the other leaning to the right 53 degrees to the horizontal, both with pivot points on the ground. A wire is attached to the top of both of them, keeping them both up on the angle. I think I...

Homework Statement A wire is used to keep two uniform posts from falling, as in the figure. The wire is 5.00 m long, and has a mass of 0.732 kg. The posts are identical and are uniform in cross section, with a mass of 25.0 kg each. a. Find the tension in the wire (assume the wire is...
