| Mar 3, 2014 at 21:05 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | @Georg but you know that in physics, all ropes are massless, frictionless, 1-dimensional objects. :-) . Tho' in this case I guess we have to give it mass (so the catenary doesn't collapse to a line segment), but let's keep it frictionless and inextensible. | |

| Mar 3, 2014 at 20:58 | comment | added | Georg | ""it should be the same as catenary (hyperbolic cosine) "" It is not the same, it is a catenary, but only in math. In physics You have to know the drag of the wind on every piece of the rope. Because this drag is a rather nonlinear function of wind velocity, things are complicated. | |
