Transcribed Image Text:6.73 The cable of mass 1.8 kg/m is attached to a rigid support at A and passes
over a smooth pulley at B. If the mass M = 40 kg is attached to the free end
of the cable, find the two values of H for which the cable will be in equilibrium.
(Note: The smaller value of H represents stable equilibrium.)
