If 100 meters of telephone wire is suspended between two poles separated by 95 meters and a pelican (mass=5kg) lands midway along the wire, what is the tension in the wire due to the bird?

wire on each side of bird is 50 m.Taking vertical components of tension(t) :
2Tsinx = mg
sinx=243.75/50 =4.875
2T (4.875) = 5g
T= 5g/9.750 =5 newtons (approx.) taking g =9.8
Tension = 5
