I have a friend who has created a very good website about the parabola and catenary with geometer's sketchpad file to complement it. Check it out at http://www.nas.com/~kunkel/hanging/hanging.htm
Also mentioned was the St. Louis Arch - the NPS expanded website for this catenary has a section about the mathematical equation of the arch. http://www.nps.gov/jeff/arch-ov.htm#Top
