In the figure, a 116 kg uniform log hangs by two steel wires, A and B, both of radius 1.20 mm. Initially, wire A was 2.50 m long and 1.75 mm shorter than wire B. The log is now horizontal. Young's modulus for steel is 2.00×1011 N/m2. What are the magnitudes of the forces on it from (a) wire A and (b) wire B? (c) What is the ratio dA/dB?
