I have a guy anchor block(dead man) 3m below ground with 2 back to back chanels @ 39 degrees as shaft coming out of it.

The shaft is 2m above grond and 3m inside ground. I have a lateral force of 10kn at the tip of anchor shaft.

My question is: For calculating moments on the shaft, will I be considering length of shaft outside the ground only( 2m in this case) or will it be from the anchor block to the free end( 5m from block)?

Thanks
