Figure shows a 300 kg cylinder that is horizontal. Three steel wires support the cylinder from a ceiling. Wires 1 and 3 are attached at the ends of the cylinder, and wire 2 is attached at the center. The wires each have a cross - sectional area of `2.00xx10^(-6)m^(2)`. Initially (before the cylinder was put in place), wires 1 and 3 were 2.0000 m long and wire 2 was 6.00 mm longer than that. Now (with the cylinder in place), all three wires have been stretched. What is the tension in wire 1 (kN) ? `(E_("steel")=200xx10^(9)N//m^(2))`
