Transcribed Image Text:### Wall Stability Analysis
A 17.0 m-high and 12.0 m-long wall under construction and its bracing are shown in the figure below. The wall is in stable equilibrium without the bracing but can pivot at its base.
**Objective:**
Calculate the force (in N) exerted by each of the 10 braces if a strong wind exerts a horizontal force of 715 N on each square meter of the wall. Assume that the net force from the wind acts at a height halfway up the wall and that all braces exert equal forces parallel to their lengths. Neglect the thickness of the wall.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- **Wall Dimensions:**
- Height: 17.0 m
- Length: 12.0 m
- **Bracing Details:**
- Angle of brace with the ground: 35°
- Length of brace to wall: 8.5 m
- Total number of braces: 10
- **Wind Force:**
- Horizontal force exerted by wind: 715 N per square meter
- **Calculation Details:**
- The force of wind is shown as \( F_{\text{wind}} \) acting horizontally on the wall.
- The braces are supporting the wall to prevent it from pivoting at the base.
- A text box is provided to enter the calculated force magnitude.
**Important Note:**
The application assumes that each brace supports an equal share of the total force exerted.
