We
need some kind of function to
|
|
|
describe
what we are trying to achieve
|
|
|
|
– |
Minimize
weight
|
|
|
|
• |
f =
Volume*r
|
|
|
|
• |
density
is a material property—if the material is
|
|
|
selected,
then r will not be changed
|
|
|
|
• |
Volume
= f(L,h,d), Length, height, depth
|
|
|
|
– |
Certainly
we could make L, h, and d very
|
|
|
small
to make the weight small, or minimum
