A page is to have a total area of 96 square inches. The top and bottom margins will be 1 inch each, and the left and right margins will be 1_^1⁄2 inches each as shown in the figure below.

Required:

a) What should be the overall dimensions “x” and “y” that will maximize the area of the space

inside the margins (the printed area)?
b) Also give the proof that these values of “x” and “y” will maximize this area.

I have a solid square aluminum beam. It is 12 inches long with cross sectional area .25" x .25". A force is applied to the center of the rod and supported at the ends. I need to know the maximum force before the aluminum fails. Equations and work done would be great so I can change the length and cross section if needed bigger or smaller max load.
