A metal rain gutter is to have 3−inch and  a 3−inch bottom the sides making an equal  angle θ with the bottom. What should   θ be in order to maximize carrying capasity  of the gutter ?

The carrying capasity of the gutter  is maximized when the area  of the vertical end of the gutter  is maximized.  A=3(3sin θ)+2((1/2))(3cos θ)(3sin θ)  A=9sin θ+9cos θsin θ  (dA/dθ)=9(2cos^2 θ+cos θ−1)=0   when θ=(π/3)⇒A=((27(√3))/4)≈ 11.7  The carrying capasity is max  when θ=(π/3)
