Answer

The maximum value of $~~h~~$ is $~~\frac{25L}{24}$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that $a_1 = \frac{L}{2}$ In part (b), we found that $a_2 = \frac{L}{4}$ In part (c), we found that $a_3 = \frac{L}{6}$ In part (d), we found that $a_4 = \frac{L}{8}$ We can find the maximum value of $h$: $h = a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4$ $h = \frac{L}{2}+\frac{L}{4}+\frac{L}{6}+\frac{L}{8}$ $h = \frac{25L}{24}$ The maximum value of $~~h~~$ is $~~\frac{25L}{24}$
