Finding the Length of a Guy Wire The height of a radi tower is 500 feet, and the ground on one side of the tower slopes upward at an angle of (see the figure).
a. How long should a guy wire be if it is to connect to the top of the tower and be secured at a point on the slope side 100 feet from the base of the tower?
b. How long should a second guy wire be if it is to connect to the middle of the tower and be secured at a positio 100 feet from the baseon the flat side?

- == 1. A separable differential equation can be written in the form hy) = g(a) where h(y) is a function of y only, and g(x) is a function of r only. All of the equations below are separable. Rewrite each of these in the form h(y) = g(x), then find a general solution by integrating both sides.
