The implication of the result obtained in part (a) and part (b).
Answer to Problem 19P
Solution:
This can be interpreted that both the excavation and limiting cost can be minimized simultaneously by considering the bottom width B that is twice the length of each vertical side H.
Explanation of Solution
To interpret the result, first consider the constraint equation,
And,
On further simplification,
As
are dependent on B and H, thus both have minimized.
Thus, the excavation cost function
is minimized and as excavation cost C is directly proportional to cross-sectional area.
Hence, both the excavation and limiting cost can be minimized simultaneously by considering the bottom width B that is twice the length of each vertical side H as obtained in part (a) and (b) as
