Q3: A telephone cable is clamped at A to the pole AB. Knowing that the tension in the left-hand portion of the cable is T1 = 800 lb, determine by trigonometry (a) the required tension T2 in the righthand portion if the resultant R of the forces exerted by the cable at A is to be vertical, (b) the corresponding magnitude of R. 25° T₂
