Chapter 10, Problem 29RE

A 120 -ft flight control tower in the shape of a hyperboloid has hyperbolic cross sections perpendicular to the ground. Placing the origin at the bottom and center of the tower, the center of a hyperbolic cross section is 0 , 30 with one focus at 15 10 , 30 and one vertex at 15 , 30 .

All units are in feet.

Chapter 10, Problem 29RE, A 120-ft flight control tower in the shape of a hyperboloid has hyperbolic cross sections
