Homework Statement
In Figure, a 103 kg uniform log hangs by two steel wires, A and B, both of radiuses 1.20 mm. Initially, wire A was 2.50 m long and 2.00 mm shorter than wire B. The log is now horizontal. What are the magnitudes of the forces on it from Wire A, and Wire B?

Homework Equations
Young Modulus = (F(perpendicular)/Area)/(ΔL/L(initial))
The Attempt at a Solution
This is static equilibrium
so
Summation of Forces:
F: Ta-Tb-Wb =0
Not sure where to take it from here. Can somebody give me a direction?
