Water is being pumped from a reservoir into a 20.0-cm diameter pipe and conveyed to a sprinkle irrigation system, whose design capacity is 3920L/min. A pressure gauge located just downstream of the pump reads 420.0kPa. The water surface of the reservoir is 5.78m below the centreline of the pump. Assume that the water density is 1000 kg/m³ and the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s². If the specific speed is 949.77 (metric units), the pump speed wis rad/s.
