In the figure, a 140 kg uniform log hangs by two steel wires, A and B, both of radius 1.25 mm. Initially, wire A was 2.40 m long and 2.15 mm shorter than wire B. The log is now horizontal. Young's modulus for steel is \(2.00 \times 10^{11} \, \text{N/m}^2\). What are the magnitudes of the forces on it from (a) wire A and (b) wire B? (c) What is the ratio \(d_A/d_B\)?

![Diagram of Log and Wires:](diagram)

- **Diagram Explanation:**
  - A log is shown suspended horizontally by two wires labeled Wire A and Wire B.
  - The diagram shows the distances \(d_A\) and \(d_B\) which denote the horizontal distances from a central point labeled "com" (center of mass) to where the wires attach to the log on either side.
