SURFACE OF AXIAL REVOLUTION OF THE CATENARY
Homemade name. |
Cylindrical equation: Cartesian parametrization: |
Surface of revolution
generated by the rotation of the catenary
around its symmetry axis (whereas the catenoid
is the surface of revolution generated by the rotation of the catenary
around its base).
Opposite, view of this surface along with one of its
rhumb lines,
the calculation of which is fairly easy:
