you'll have to calculate the the area of a pie slice of the rope length, plus the area of the two sections cut off by chords of rope length. the size of the pie slice will have to be calculated (i think) by creating an equilateral triangle with the two chords & finding the third side

that total area needs to equal the area of the field /2

Link since I'm not typing it out.

good lord

the length of rope will have to be longer than the radius of the circle, so, no.

My bad, didn't see the post. I thought it was tied to the outside of the circle and could move all around the circle. Please disregard.

I was wondering why folks were making it so hard :lol

Simple, you put up a fence. You folks obviously don't own cattle and this is why you don't need calc. as a rancher.

Need more information. Is the cow a point mass? If not, what is the distance from the teeth to the point where the cow touches the leash? How many teeth are needed for the cow to eat?

We also need to know what the cow ate for his previous meal. If he stuffed himself he won't eat as much grass, so we might need to mow it first.

I think this covers all you need to answer the question. If not, just let me know.
