Thank you.
The function for the left rail is y=tan(b/2)*x+tan(b/2)*d . Then we have the equations x2+z2=r(y)2
The conclusion would be x2+z2=(R-tan(a/2)*(tan(b/2)*x+tan(b/2)*d))2
I think z can be expressed by z(x)=tan(y)*x+tan(y)*d.
Back to the exercise: How I find out where the rail touches the double cone? And what will happen at A?
