Answer:
118.8 N
Explanation:
Weight of the light, W = 214.8 N
Angle between two wires, 2θ = 129.4°
Let t be the tension in each wire. Now the vertical components of tension is balanced by the weight of the light.
2 T Sinθ = W
2 x T x Sin 64.7° = 214.8
1.808 T = 214.8
T = 118.8 N
Thus, the tension in each wire is 118.8 N.
