The tensions in the wires at the given angle of inclination is determined as 434.1 N.

Tension on the wire

The tension in the wires is calculated as follows;

T = Wsinθ

where;

  • T is tension in each wire
  • W is weight of the traffic light

T = 2500 x sin(10)

T = 434.1 N

Thus, the tensions in the wires at the given angle of inclination is determined as 434.1 N.
