If you’d like, Calculate the distance between the poles

a.) In engineering practice the headroom at least 4.5 meter (approx 15 feet).
b.) 2 feet is less than 15 feet.
c.) Therefore this is not a real life problem.
d.) Engineers do not waste their time to a non real-life fictious problems.
e.) I am an engineer.
f.) Therefore in my sight this problem is useless and only playing with numbers - I do not want to do anything with it.

Maybe if you have data of distance of poles vs headroom below the rope, in this case this will be more interesting.
