Question
For a constant weight, the load that a rectangular piece of wooden beam supports, the height \( H \) and the width \( W \) of the cross-section of the beam follow the equation \( L = H^2W \).

1. Find \( \frac{dW}{dH} \) in terms of \( W \) and \( H \).

2. Does \( W \) increase as \( H \) does? Hint: What is the sign of \( \frac{dW}{dH} \)?
