The basic SI unit that has anything to do with electricity is the unit
of electric charge ... the Coulomb.
Every other unit connected with electricity is a combination of the
Coulomb and the other basic SI units ...kilogram for mass, the meter
for length, and the second for time.
Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the
sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:
l = 15 – 2x
w = 8 – 2x
It is 2x since we cut on two sides.
We know that volume is:
V = l w x
V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x
V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3
V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3
Taking the 1st derivative:
dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2
Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:
120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0
Divide by 12:
x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0
(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2
x - 92/24 = ±2.17
x = 1.66, 6
We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w
negative, so:
x = 1.66 inches
So the largest volume is:
V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3
V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3
V = 90.74 cubic inches
