A bird sits on a stretched wire and has weight w.so what would be the relation between w and tension.I have tried by taking tension upward and weight downward and by triangular law of vectors I tried to do but not working

Show us your work and we'll give you a hint if you're still stuck on this. Presumably there is an angle provided between horizontal and the wire, correct?
