I racked my brain for almost 10 minutes, until suddenly,
it hit me !
You're breathing one right now ! So am I .
Air is a mixture of a lot of elements.
Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon account for 99.964 percent.
The other 0.036 percent is mainly Neon, Helium, Krypton,
and Hydrogen ... more elements.
Then there are Carbon Dioxide and water vapor.
Yes, those are compounds. But together, they add up
to very little of the air we breathe, and if both of them
suddenly disappeared, we would hardly notice it.
Answer:
a) At x=14 the slope will be given by:
.
b) Then, the angle between the line and the pole will be:

where
is the angle between the tangent to the catenary and the x-axis.
Explanation:
The catenary has the following general form:

a) The slope at any point will be given by the derivative of y.

At x=14:
.
b) The angle between the tangent to the catenary and the x-axis at a given point will be given by:
⇒ 
Then, the angle between the line and the pole will be:
.
