The distance between two telephone poles is 60.0 m. When a 1.00-kg bird lands on the telephone wire midway between the poles, the wire sags 0.210 m. Draw a free-body diagram of the bird. How much tension does the bird produce in the wire? Ignore the weight of the wire.

Step 1
The angle can be found from the tan given by,
The gravitational force is given by,
F - gravitational force
m - mass of the bird
g - acceleration due to gravity
The net force on the bird is zero since it is staying stationary.
Given that mass of bird is 1 kg
