A wooden beam has a rectangular cross section of height h and width w (see figure). The strength S of the beam is directly proportional to the width and the square of the height. What are the dimensi strongest beam that can be cut from a round log of diameter 44 centimeters? (Hint: S = kh2w, where k is the proportionality constant.) W = h = cm cm
