A flexible cable as shown in the figure which supports the 100-kg load passed over a fixed circular drum and subjected to a force P to maintain equilibruim. The coefficient of static friction between the cable and the fixed drum is 0.30. For a = 0°, determine the maximum and minimum values which P may have in order not to raise or lower the load.
