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 equilibrium. The coeficient of static friction between the cable and the fixed drum is 0.30. For P = 500 N, determine the minimum value which the angle a may have before the load begins to slip.
