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 the x-component of the cable tension reaches 510 Ib, calculate the necessary tension T in the cable. Determine the angle 0 between the cable and the vertical x-y plane.
