And of course I tried this angle, and it does appear to be correct!
Sure, it's good to solve the practical problem. But I am really surprised I couldn't find any analytic solution, a clear statement L=f(s,v,b) as I wrote lower. Strange. Such easily-formulated problem leading to so complicated solution?
