Sag angle Imagine a climber clipping onto the rope described in Example 7 and pulling himself to the rope's midpoint. Because the rope is supporting the weight of the climber, it no longer takes the shape of the catenary y = 200 cosh m Instead, the rope 200 (nearly) forms two sides of an isosceles triangle. Compute the sag angle 0 illustrated in the figure, assuming the rope does not stretch when weighted. Recall from Example 7 that the length of the rope is 101 ft. y, Sag angle 0 100 -50 50
