A humidifier uses a rotating disk of radius r, which is partially submerged in water. The most evaporation occurs when the exposed wetted region is maximized. Show that this happens when h (the distance from the center to the water) is equal to r/ square root (1+ pi^2)

If it's too small you may have to click on it a few times.
