Q3 (a) You need to design an axe handle for a standard fireman's axe. Since the head will hit the wall or door of the burning building while being held in two hands, you decide to model the axe handle as a simply supported beam with a center load, F. The handle length, L, is fixed by firefighting standards, but the cross-sectional area is not. You decide to design the strongest axe handle (maximum load, F) for which the cost, $, does not exceed $max. The failure strength of a simply supported (cylindrical) beam can be written as: F = πr³²/ of Provide the functions, objectives, constraints and free variables for this design. (5 marks)
