Let Vertex be (0,0) and let the parabola be

x²=4ay..... so by symmetry when x=10m then y=4m(maximum saag)

then,on substituting x and y we get

100=16a so 4a=25

hence,the eq of parabola is x²=25y as(4a=25.)

then at distance x=5 then let point on parabola be(5,w) then

5²=25y …... so y=1

Now, as the sag is 4m and height of towers is 15m,So the the lowaset point of the wire is 11m above the ground

hence,the height of the point 5m away from one end is..
11+y-->11+1=>12m

so height of the point at a distance 5m from one end is 12m.
