Three guy wires are used to keep an antenna pole standing in a vertical position. The pole and guy wires are mounted on level ground. The upper ends of the guy wires are all attached at the same spot on the pole. The other ends are attached to anchors on the ground. Two guy wires, stretched at 20 m long each are inclined 60 degrees with the horizontal. The third wire, due to limited space was mounted on an anchor on the ground nearer to the pole by 1m. Determine the angle the third guy wire makes with the horizontal.
