Question: Real solution for catenary differential equation


Download Kettinglijn_hoge_waa.mw

Hello,

I have been trying to plot a catenary for two boundary conditions. The plot shows the position of the cable but the solution is complex for part of the domain. For the part of the domain where the solution is complex, the plot is empty. Other boundary conditions give me a real answer, but I do need these ones... I have tried running my files multiple times and sometimes maple comes with a different solution?

Does anybody know how to bypass the complex issue, and find a real solution for this differential equation?

Thanks in advance,

Feicko

P.S. maple file in attachment
