yeah the visual fucks it up because it doesnt match with the numbers presented
Ian Hernandez
a2+b2=c2
b2=c2-a2
b2=40^2-40^2
b2=1600-1600
b=0
?
Michael Parker
That's a chain curve
Need the weight and flexibility of the cable
Lincoln Peterson
nah, the curvature of the cable depends on the Young's modulus of it. These questions are retarded.
Samuel Cook
A hanging wire should approximately follow y=x^2, so the distance isn't that hard to find.
Joshua Gutierrez
It's an open question to match and assess different expertise levels
You can approximate the solution that pretending the cable forms two straight lines ()= middle school geometry
Next level you can be the cosinus faggot: high school maths
Finally you apply the right curve formula and gave to assume values for weight and flex of cable: college engineering
Or you be like me college dropout who's smarter than joo
Ryder Edwards
to anyone curious these questions are often incomplete and the interviewer just wants to see how you think and will select the candidates based on their own opinion about who would be a good employee. a complete flawed system.
Cameron Russell
this is an old trick question, it is 0. The distance from the top of the poles to the turning point 10m above the ground is 40m, now if the rope/chain is 80m long there would be no hyperbolic curve at all since the 10m height is halfway which would mean half of the rope/chain is on either side of it. So 0m between.
