Notes: Problem Statement - A pipe manufacturer reports that they can achieve Mannings roughness values of .011 for their concrete pipes, lower
than the .013 reoported by their competition. Using Kutter's formula, determine what the difference in flow would be for a 310 mm circular pipe with a
slope of 2.5%, flowing 1/2 full.
