In one of the Star closing watts of Wars movies, four of the heroes are trapped in a trash compactor on the Death Star. The compactor's walls begin to close in, and the heroes need to pick an object from the trash to place between the closing walls to stop them. All the objects are the same length and have a circular cross section, but their diameters and compositions are different. Assume that each object is oriented horizontally and does not bend. They have the time and strength to hold up only one object between the walls. Which of the objects shown in the figure will work best—that is, will withstand the greatest force per unit of compression?
