A faucet is connected at the end of a pipe of roughness .00026. The pipe connected the faucet to the water main, 40 meters away and 1.2 meters below. The pressure in the main is 450000 Pa. If the flow rate when the pipe is fully open must be at least .0126 m^3/s, what is the minimal diameter of the pipe? (Neglect minor losses. Assume the water temperature is 20 degrees C. 40m is the total length from the faucet to the main.)

A faucet is connected at the end of a pipe of roughness
.00026. The pipe connected the faucet to the water main,
40 meters away and 1.2 meters below. The pressure in the
main is 450000 Pa. If the flow rate when the pipe is fully
open must be at least .0126 m^3/s, what is the minimal
diameter of the pipe? (Neglect minor losses. Assume the
water temperature is 20 degrees C. 40m is the total length
from the faucet to the main.)
