    Zero meters apart.

    The interesting thing is that the curve is theoretically still a catenary. If the equation is solved the null answer would show up.

    I misread the 10 m as the sag value and got graph.

    #-Link-Snipped-# , good that you zeroed in on zero.

    Yeah, the mid section of the rope is at 40 meters and that's lesser than the length of the pole. 

    The thing is - for such questions I always start with unconventional answers. Works out 90% of the times.
