An overhead crane is used to reposition the boxcar within a railroad car-repair shop. If the boxcar begins to move along the rails when thex-component of the cable tension reaches 700 lb, calculate the necessary tension Tin the cable. Determine the angle e, between the cable and the vertical x-y plane.
