 Current Attempt in Progress During a storm, a tree limb breaks

Current Attempt in Progress During a storm, a tree limb breaks off and comes to rest across a barbed wire fence at a point that is not in the middle between two fence posts. The limb exerts a downward force of 166 N on the wire. The left section of the wire makes an angle of 16.80 relative to the horizontal and sustains a tension of 461 N. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to horizontal) of the tension that the right section of the wire sustains. (a) Number Units (b) Number i Units
