Explanation / Answer

Given data:
Ym1 = 2.7cm
Ym2 = 4.9 cm
phi 1 = 0
phi2 = pi/2 rad

y1 = 2.7* sin
y2 = 4.9* sin ( + /3)

y1 + y2 = 2.7*sin + 4.9*sin ( + /3)
y1 + y2 = 2.7*sin + 4.9*sin * cos /3 + 4.9*cos * sin /3
y1 + y2 = 5.15 sin + 4.243 cos
Y1 + y2 is the maximum if 5.15* cos = 4.243*sin
or = 0.881 radian or 50.51 degrees

Maximum value of y1 +y2 is 5.15 sin 0.881+ 4.243 cos 0.881= 6.672 cm
