Assuming she set up the problem vertically, she began subtracting from the left, instead if the right.

She started by subtracting to the left but she was supposed to start from the right to get reasonable answer

Hope this helps

Answer:

about 44.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write relations for the height of the rail as a function of initial length and expanded length, but the solution cannot be found algebraically. A graphical solution or iterative solution is possible.

Referring to the figure in the second attachment, we can write a relation between the angle value α and the height of the circular arc as ...

h = c·tan(α) . . . . . . where c = half the initial rail length

Then the length of the expanded rail is ...

s = r(2α) = (c/sin(2α)(2α) . . . . . . where s = half the expanded rail length

Rearranging this last equation, we have ...

sin(2α)/(2α) = c/s

It is this equation that must be solved iteratively. We find the solution to be ...

α ≈ 0.0168538794049 radians

So, the height of the circular arc is ...

h = 2640.5·tan(0.0168538794049) ≈ 44.4984550191 . . . feet

The rail will bow upward by about 44.5 feet.

<em>Additional comments</em>

Note that s and c in the diagram are half the lengths of the arc and the chord, respectively. The ratio of half-lengths is the same as the ratio of full lengths: c/s = 2640/2640.5 = 5280/5281.

We don't know the precise shape the arc will take, but we suspect is is not a circular arc. It seems likely to be a catenary, or something similar.

We used Newton's method iteration to refine the estimate of the angle from that shown on the graph. The iterator used is x' = x -f(x)/f'(x), where x' is the next guess based on the previous guess of x. Only a few iterations are required obtain an angle value to full calculator precision.
