Let’s say we have a point ? on the ground at the coordinates (0,0). Assume that we are only operating on the ground plane (2D scenario). Someone puts a very long rope full of TNT with a certain shape around the point ?. ? is at one end of the rope. At the other end of the rope, the person ignites it. The fire advances through the rope at a constant speed ? and the explosions produce a soundwave with a constant celerity ?. What shape does the rope have if all the soundwaves arrived at ? at the exact same moment? In other words, find a function that can describe the curve that the rope takes.
