## Problem 14Consider a traffic light suspended from two wires as shown in the figure below. The left wire makes an angle \( \theta = 29.4^\circ \) below the horizontal with the top of its pole and carries a tension of \( 150 \, \text{N} \). The \( 11.7 \, \text{m} \) tall hollow aluminum pole is equivalent in stiffness to a \( 4.75 \, \text{cm} \) diameter solid cylinder.### Questions:(a) How far (in m) is it bent to the side? \[ \text{Answer:} \, \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{m} \](b) By how much (in m) is it compressed? \[ \text{Answer:} \, \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{m} \]### Diagram:The diagram shows a traffic light hanging from two slanted wires attached to two poles. The left wire forms an angle of \( 29.4^\circ \) with the horizontal.### Additional Materials:- Reading---## Problem 15A tightrope walker stands on a wire that is supported by a pole at each end. The tightrope walker creates a tension of \( 4.90 \times 10^3 \, \text{N} \) in a wire making an angle \( 4.2^\circ \) below the horizontal with each supporting pole. Calculate how much this tension stretches the steel wire (in cm) if it was originally \( 12 \, \text{m} \) long and \( 0.50 \, \text{cm} \) in diameter.### Question:How much does the wire stretch (in cm)? \[ \text{Answer:} \, \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{cm} \]
