1. A wire is connected from a support at ri = (0, 2.0, 8.0) meters to an object of mass 45 kg at ra (5.5, %3D 4.3, 3.2) meters. Find the tension in the wire, expressed as both x, y, and z components and as a magnitude and direction relative to the hanging mass. Take the acceleration due to gravity as acting in the negative k direction, i.e a = (0, 0, -g).
