If anyone can help me out with this I'll love you =]
The ceiling supports in a new discount department store are 4m apart. Lights are to be hung from
these supports by chains in the shape of a “Y.” Each light uses only one chain. If the light is 3m
below the ceiling,
a) What is the shortest length of chain that can be used to support one of these lights?
b) Assume the cost of chain is $5.00/m. What is the minimum cost for the chain for 10 lights?
