The figure shows a $$300$$ kg cylinder that is horizontal. Three steel wires support the cylinder from a ceiling. Wires 1 and 3 are attached at the ends of the cylinder, and wire 2 is attached at the center. The wires each have a cross-sectional area of $$2.00 \times 10^6 m^2$$. Initially (before the cylinder was put in place) wires 1 and 3 were $$2.0000$$ m long and wire 2 was $$6.00$$ mm longer than that. Now (with the cylinder in place) all three wires have been stretched. What are the tension in (a) wire 1 and (b) wire 2?
