The correct answer is 5 N.
When a picture is supported by two wires attached perpendicular to it, the tension force in each wire can be calculated by dividing the weight of the picture equally between the two wires.
Since the weight of the picture is 10 N, the tension force in each wire is 10 N / 2 = 5 N.
a picture weighing 10 N is supported by two wires attached perpendicular to the picture. What is the tension force in each wire
