Question:
6. 11.26 The cost of an 8-inch pipe line placed in an open channel in 2016 was $16.13 per LF. An 18-inch pipe cost $22.90 per LF. The crosssectional area of the pipe is considered the “capacity” in the costcapacity equation.
(a) Determine the value of the exponent in the costcapacity equation that exactly relates the two pipe sizes.
(b) You learned that the FRED cost index has increased from its 2016 value to 280.0 now. What is your updated cost estimate for an 18-inch pipe?
