Chapter 5, Problem 10P
|| A heavy mirror that has a width of 1 m is to be hung on a wall as shown in Figure 5.44. The mirror weighs 500 N, and the wire used to hang it will break if the tension exceeds 500 N (breaking strength). What is the shortest length of wire L that can be used to hang the mirror without the wire breaking? (Ignore any friction forces between the mirror and the wall.)

A traffic light weighing 122 N hangs from a cable tied to two other cablesfastened to a support. The upper cables make angles of 37.0◦ and 53.0◦with the horizontal. These upper cables are not as strong as the verticalcable, and will break if the tension in them exceeds 100 N. Will the trafficlight remain hanging in this situation, or will one of the cables break?
