From description of the task we have:
Answer:
T1 = 490.5 [N], T2 = 490.5[N]
Explanation:
First, we must draw a free body diagram of the steel ball hanging and the two wires holding it as well as the angle forming the wires between them.
The free-body diagram can be seen in the attached image.
As the cables are symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis, the force in cables 1 and 2 is equal, so when performing a force sum equal to zero on the Y-axis, we can find the force value of any cable.
The solution of the equations can be seen in the attached image
Yes it does ! Uh huh. Right you are. Truer words are seldom written.
You have quoted the law quite accurately but also incompletely.
Do you have a question to ask ?
The related concepts to solve this problem is the Glide Ratio. This can be defined as the product between the height of fall and the lift-to-drag ratio. Mathematically, this expression can be written as,

Replacing,


Converting this units to miles.


Therefore the glide in terms of distance measured along the ground is 7.2916miles
