There doesn't really need to be a context. You know the length of a chord on the circle and the length of the arc segment between them. I did some digging and did finally manage to find two solutions. One uses Newton's approximation method and the other uses and taylor expansion...

I am having trouble doing exactly what the title says. I have two points and the arc length between them (this is a bending beam type of a situation). Essentially I know where the ends of the beam are and how long the bent beam is and I need to get the equation of the circle. And yes I...

Hey, I'm looking for the optimal antenna to transmit in the 900 Mhz range from a high altitude balloon. The transceiver I have says it is capable of 40 miles LOS with a 15 dBi antenna. Can achieve this? Can I just hang say a 100ft wire from the bottom of the balloon? Do I need a different...

I understand that I will probably need to give some more variables here, but I am not sure what they are. in any case, my question to you all is this: As shown in the diagram below, realistically, how much weight should be placed at the x to keep this forklift from tipping over. I am working...
