You are asked to design a covered conical pit to store 50 m3 of waste liquid. Assume excavation costs at $100/m3, side lining costs at $50/m2, and cover cost at 25/m2. Determine the dimensions of the pit that minimize cost -If the side slope is unconstrained and -If the side slope must me less than 450
