        Suppose the box $A$ is in equilibrium (at rest) in the position illustrated below, when a force $F$ is applied at the cable.
        Box $A$ has mass $M_A = {{params.ma}}$ kg. Assume gravity equals to $10 \rm m / s^2$. Assume frictionless pulley.
        Determine the force in the cable required for this equilibrium configuration.
