The shape of a cable hanging with no other load other than its own weight is a catenary curve. A particular bridge cable is described by the catenary y(x)=15 cosh((x-25)/15) for 0 x 55, where x and y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates measured in feet. The length L of a curve described by y(x) for a x b can be found from the integralDetermine the length of the cable. Your final answershould be a numeric value, not a symbolic one. Display results using fprintf. [Ans to Check: 92.695 ft]
