A chopstick with a length of 15cm is placed in a cylindrical cup with a bottom diameter of 5cm and a height of 12cm.

Chopsticks are placed vertically in the cup, and the maximum value of H is 15- 12 = 3cm.

When chopsticks are placed obliquely along the longitudinal section of the cup, the value of H is the smallest.

= 15-√(5? + 12? )

= 15-√ 169

= 15- 13

=2 cm

therefore

The range of H is 2cm ≤ H ≤ 3cm.
