Tractrix A person P, starting at the origin, moves in the direction of the positive
Chapter 1, Problem 26(choose chapter or problem)
Tractrix A person P, starting at the origin, moves in the direction of the positive x-axis, pulling a weight along the curve C, called a tractrix, as shown in Figure 1.3.20. The weight, initially located on the y-axis at (0, s), is pulled by a rope of constant length s, which is kept taut throughout the motion. Determine a differential equation for the path C of motion. Assume that the rope is always tangent to C.
