The goal of the project was to design a hanger of minimum weight that can support a suit clip with a weight of about 25 lbs. As shown by the figures on the left, the geometry constraints were that no pins could be attached to the green area and that no material could intersect the red area. 

 

The only material allowed to be used was acrylic. Pegs were used to connect the hanger to the stand and suit clip to the hanger.
