Best Answer

Assuming you mean bending parallel to the long side:

Volume (V) = 10*x*(8-2x) = -20x2+80x

To find the maximum, we find the zero of the first derivative.

dV/dx = -40x+80 = 0

x=2 inches tall

If you meant bending perpendicular to the long side:

V=8*x*(10-2x)=80x-16x2

dV/dx = 80-32x = 0

x = 80/32 = 5/2 = 2.5 inches tall

Why bourdon tube is oval in shape?

Because it will provides maximum dflection in Only vertical direction and no any other bending of tube due to pressure occurs.instead if cross section is circular then along with vertical defletion or bending of tube there is also bending along horizaotal direction,which leads to error.so it has oval shape............got it

What is the major axis for bending?

In a beam or length of material, we generally consider the longitudinal axis as the major axis for bending. But torsion will bend the material from the vertical, will twist it around that longitudinal axis. And lateral forces will bend the material across it axis of latitude.


How do you beat level 60 of liquid measure?

TUBES going left to right: Attach a down and right bending tube on #1 (first column) Do not attach anything to #3 (second column) Attach a right bending, then down bending, then right bending tube on #3 (third column) Attach a right bending tube on #1 (fourth column) Attach a right bending tube on #2 (fifth column) Attach a left bending, then straight tube on #2 (sixth column) Do not attach anything to #3 (seventh column). GLASSES Place a vertical 3 glass directly under the #3 tube in the second column. Place the horizontal 3 glass directly on top of horizontal 4 glass stretching from 2nd-4th column. (leaving only one space open on the 4 glass in the fifth column) Place the vertical 2 glass directly next to the 4 glass in the sixth column. Place the vertical 3 glass directly next to the 2 glass in the seventh column.

Bottom so less cold air escapes and most people use refrigerator more than freezer which will require less bending over.
