by checking each ! how do you know which temperature will give you the largest (smallest?) diameter ?? (if you knew that you'd've never...

how rigid/flexible (particularly to lateral loads) are the books ? I expect the mass is stabilizing, but increasing height makes the...

ok, not my area so this may be "uninformed" ... you have an equation that is calculating some design parameter. "which temperature is...

Yeah, ok, this is a great learning opportunity. In Engineering design, as in many things, there is a "cart" and a "horse". A...

you'll probably need to consider both ... why ? (we can tell you, but you'll learn better if you discover it for yourself).
