a 300 kg cylinder that is horizontal. Three steel wires support the cylinder from a ceiling.Wires 1 and 3 are attached at the ends of the cylinder, and wire 2 is attached at the center. The wires each have a crosssectional area of 2.00 * 10-6 m2. Initially (before the cylinder was put in place) wires 1 and 3 were 2.0000 m long and wire 2 was 6.00 mm longer than that. Now (with the cylinder in place) all three wires have been stretched.What is the tension in (a) wire 1 and (b) wire 2?

Question

a 300 kg
cylinder that is horizontal. Three
steel wires support the cylinder
from a ceiling.Wires 1 and 3 are attached
at the ends of the cylinder,
and wire 2 is attached at the center.
The wires each have a crosssectional
area of 2.00 * 10-6 m2.
Initially (before the cylinder was put in place) wires 1 and 3
were 2.0000 m long and wire 2 was 6.00 mm longer than that.
Now (with the cylinder in place) all three wires have been
stretched.What is the tension in (a) wire 1 and (b) wire 2?
