Problem #54
Two poles, one with a height of 150 feet the other with a height of 120
feet are 80 feet apart. A rope with a length of 100 feet connects the tops
of the two poles. A weight is placed on the rope so that it is free to
slide along it. How far above the ground does the weight hang? [Assume
that when the rope is pulled taut it makes a straight line (rather than a
catenary).]
