Along the direction of wires, it should be 0.8 and perpendicular to the wires, it acts as a cantilever so it will be 2.0.

Wire doesn't support to pole by hinge, so plole will be act as cantilever column.
So it's effective length will be 2l.

When the upper end of a pole connected with wire than pole assumed hinged at one end so effective length will 0.8 * l.

I am correct or wrong?
