Answer: The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

-Dominant- [34]
First of all you have that the force that is in cable in its vertical posibion is:
 Fy = m * g
 Fy = (26) * (9.8) = 254.8 N
 Then, the force in horizontal direction will be:
 Tan (x) = Fy / Fx
 Clearing:
 Fx = Fy / tan (x)
 Substituting values:
 Fx = (254.8) / (0.17 / 4)
 Fx = 5995.29 N
 Answer:
 The horizontal force that would be necessary to displace its position 0.17 m to one side is 5995.29 N
