Fig 2.1 illustrates the law of diminishing returns in seeking the optimum system (or component) performance and hence the need to balance the performance against the cost. Give examples of two pairs of characteristics other than performance versus cost where optimizing one frequently competes with the other, and briefly explain why they do.
