WIND CHIME PROBLEM The problem is that the dog ate my wind chime (this actually happened). A sketch of it before he tore it apart is shown on the next page. The wind chime has sentimental value and I want to fix it, which basically means restringing it. The metal tubes are of different lengths so that they produce different tones when struck by the clapper on a windy day. I do not know the order in which to arrange them. Every time I put the wind chime back together it doesn't hang straight (the wooden disc does not hang horizontally). The six metal tube lengths are as follows: Tube ID Length (cm) 30.2 A 31.5 32.7 32.8 34.0 35.3 Your job is to use the principles of Statics to determine how to arrange the tubes so that the wind chime hangs straight (the wooden disc should be horizontal) in static equilibrium.
