You've just bought a framed, vintage 43 in by 30 in poster of your favorite movie. The frame has two hooks on the upper-left and upper-right corners and you have two thin, 3 foot wires that you want to use to hang the poster. You intend to attach the wires to some hooks that you'll position near your ceiling so that the wires hang straight down while holding up the poster. Each of these wires supports up to 170 pounds and your poster and the frame together weigh about 35 pounds.What's the maximum distance you can spread the ceiling hooks out while keeping the poster level?
