A piece of art weighing 30 pounds is hung from two wires as shown below. Each wire is supporting half of the weight of the pictu
re. However, since the wires extend out at an angle, they are also imparting force towards the left and right. Therefore, the force on each wire is greater than 15 pounds. Look at the diagram above with the vectors. Use trigonometry to find ||→ux||and ||→vx||.
||→ux||= pounds ||→vx||= pounds
What is the total force (in pounds) exerted on each wire?
||→u||= pounds ||→v||= pounds 
||→ux||= pounds ||→vx||= pounds
What is the total force (in pounds) exerted on each wire?
