4. Maximum Area You are given a string of fixed length l with one end fastened at the origin O, and you are to place the string in the ry plane with its other end on the x axis in such a way as to enclose the maximum area between the string and the x axis. Show that the required shape is a semicircle. Hint: The area enclosed is of course ydx, but show that you can rewrite this in the form fds, where s denotes the distance measured along the string from O, where f = yvI - y2, and y' denotes dy/ds. Since f does not involve the independent variable s explicitly, you can exploit the "second form" of Euler-Lagrange Equation.
