A 17.0 m-high and 14.0 m-long wall under constructionand its bracing are shown in the figure below. The wall is instable equilibrium without the bracing but can pivot at its base.Calculate the force (in N) exerted by each of the 10 braces if astrong wind exerts a horizontal force of 515 N oneach square meter of the wall. Assume that the net force from thewind acts at a height halfway up the wall and that all braces exertequal forces parallel to their lengths. Neglect the thickness ofthe wall. (Enter the magnitude.)
