The strength of a beam varies as the product of its breadth and square of its depth. Find the dimensions of the strongest beam which can be cut from a circular log of radius `adot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`b^2/4+d^2/4=a^2`
`d^2=4a^2-b^2`
`(dS)/(db)=b(-2b)+(4a^2-b^2)`
`=-2b^2+4a^2-b^2`
`=4a^2-3b^2=0`
`b^2=4/3a^2`
`b=pm2/sqrt3`
`d^2=4a^2-b^2`
