LT = SA + LCD + SB .
Here is LT the total cord length (Fixed) and LCD is the length of
the position equation. Note that LCD and LT remain constant, so:
dLCD dLT
= =0

yielding:

The negative sign indicates that as A moves down the incline

NOTE: These equations are valid for this particular problem. As
you will see, a new set of equations must be derived for each
problem of interest!!
