Code error trying to find the max h

Code not running fully. Continuous errors in code. I am trying to find the maximum h given f1, the other equations and other variable limitations.
% Variables
h = 10:0.01:16;
r = 14:0.01:22.13;
I = (pi*(r*2).^4)/(64);
P = ((4/3)*pi*(r.^3-(r-0.0127).^3)*7800*9.8)+((4/3)*pi*((r-0.0127).^3)*1000*9.8);
Pcr = (((pi)^2)*206*10^9*I)./(4*h.^2);
z = P <= Pcr/2;
f1 = -1*(h+2*r);
figure;
plot(r, h, 'o-');
xlabel('Radius');
ylabel('Height');
title('Problem 4i');
grid on;

It would be clearer if the optimization problem was described using mathematical expressions rather than code. As posted above, we don't really know what you intend as an equation and what you intend as a code operation.
Here is the mathematical expressions!

You have I divided by h where I is the size of r. But r and h are row vector of different lengths.
If each h has a corresponding r then make them the same length.
If r and h are varying independently and you want to find the best combination then make one a column vector instead of a row vector and switch to a 3d plot or contour plot instead of a line plot
