A mass m is free to slide on a friction-less wire, which is bent in the shape of the parabola B, = 2 a?. Here x is the horizon- tal coordinate, and z is the ver- tical coordinate. The whole wire moves along the positive x axis with a constant acceleration a. The mass is in stable equilibrium on the wire at height H. Assume m = 50ms 2, 1kg, a = B = 10m-1, g = 10ms-2 What is the value of H? Express your answer in metres, correct to two deci- mal places.
