Homework Statement
Determine a function for wire between two poles if the arc of the wire is parabola. For every 75m there is 1m of sag.
Homework Equations
y = a(x-p)^2 + q
The Attempt at a Solution
I think that you need to make the lowest point of the wire the origin and hence the resulting equation that needs to be used is y=ax^2 but am unsure what to do from there.
