A heavy shop sign of weight W W\,W is suspended from a light ring P P\,P at the end of a rigid, horizontal strut attached to a vertical wall. A light supporting cable is attached to the wall above the strut and connects to the ring P P\,P at an angle θ \theta\,θ to the horizontal strut, keeping the system in static equilibrium.
