Question: Problem 2 ( Three - Dimensional Extension ) : A stoplight is hung between three poles scattered around an intersection. The tops of the poles

Problem 2(Three-Dimensional Extension):
A stoplight is hung between three poles scattered around an intersection. The tops of the poles are located at the points (1,1,9),(-1,1,8), and (1,-1,10). The stoplight lies at the point (x,y,6), lying within the triangle formed by the lines x=1,y=1, and y=-x. Assume the ropes are taught at any stoplight location (x,y,6). At what coordinate (x,y,6) will the tension magnitudes in each rope be equal (up to a reasonably small error) if the stoplight weighs 200 N?
