The trolley T moves along rails on the horizontal truss of the tower crane. The trolley and the load of mass m are both initially at rest (with θ = 0) when the trolley starts moving to the right with constant acceleration aT = g. Determine

(a) The maximum angle θmax achieved by the load m.


(b) The tension in the supporting cable as a function of θ.

Treat the load m as a particle, and ignore the mass of the supporting cable.
