Archie designs an arch of a certain width and height to serve as an outdoor sculpture in a park. To achieve the size and shape for the strongest possible arch, he suspends a chain from two equally elevated supports as far apart as the arch is wide and allows the chain to hang as low as the arch is high. He then designs the arch to have exactly the inverted shape of the hanging chain. Explain why.
