Two chains of length 1.0m are used to support a lamp the distance between the two chains along the ceiling is 1.0m. what is the vertical distance from the lamp to the ceiling?

2 answers

The chain length is L = 1 meter.
The chains hang at an angle
sin^-1(0.5) = 30 degrees from vertical.
The distance of the lamp from the ceiling is L*cos30 = 0.866 meters
