Question 1166416: The cables of a horizontal suspension bridge are supported from two towers 40 feet high and 150 feet apart. If the bridge is tangent to the cables at its center, find the length of one of its vertical support 30 feet from one of the towers. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
This is a physics problem because you did not bother to mention the shape of a suspension cable when the weight of the bridge is uniformly distributed. Repost with the necessary information to make this a mathematics question.
