Problem 12:   Consider the effect of wires hung on poles in which the left wire made an angle 29° below the horizontal with the top of its pole and carried a tension of 114 N. The 13 m tall hollow aluminum pole is equivalent in strength to a 4.1 cm diameter solid cylinder. The Young's modulus of aluminum is 7.0×1010 N/m2 and its shear modulus is 2.5×1010 N/m2. Part (a)  How far is it bent to the side in m?  Part (b)  By how much is it compressed in m?
