- Q2*) In question P3 we showed that a minimal surface of revolution is given by revolution (about the x-axis) of the catenary, with equation y = C cosh ((x – B)/C). - (a) Suppose, without loss of generality, that the catenary passes through the initial point P = (x1,y1) = (0, 1). First deduce an expression for the one-parameter family of catenaries passing through point P. Next calculate the value of x at which y takes its minimum value. By using the inequality cosh > √2 (you might like to think about how to prove this), show that there are points Q for which it is impossible to find a catenary passing through both P and Q. In particular, show that it is impossible to find a catenary joining the points (0, 1) and (2, 1). (b) A minimal surface of revolution can be realised experimentally by soap films attached to circular wire frames (see this link and this link for examples). The physical reason for this is that the surface tension, which is proportional to the area, is being minimised.…arrow_forwardQ3*) Consider the integral I Yn, Y₁, Y2, . . ., Y'n) dã, [F(x, Y 1, Y2, · · Yng) = - where y1, 2, ...y are dependent variables, dependent on x. If F is not explicitly dependent on x, deduce the equivalent of the Beltrami identity.
