Question: A timber rectangular beam is to be designed where the objective function is such that W = ( x 1 x 2 + 0 .

A timber rectangular beam is to be designed where the objective function
is such that W=(x1x2+0.2x22)l, Where x1 and x2 are the
width and depth of the beam. is the weight per unit length l. The
following constraints are applicable.
flexural stress =270x1x221.0
Deflection limit=2020x1x231.0
Using the method of Lagrange multipliers, calculate the values of x1
and x2 and w for the optimum design. ( Please solve it in handwriting and indetail)
