Question: A corrugated metal pipe ( n = 0 . 0 2 2 ) was originally designed to carry runoff from a 5 - year storm

A corrugated metal pipe (n =0.022) was originally designed to carry runoff from a 5-year storm while flowing half full. However, due to an increase in rainfall over the last 50 years, it will be replaced with a steel pipe (n =0.013). The steel pipe is designed to carry runoff when flowing three-quarters full and must handle a flow rate that is 30% higher than the original flow rate of the corrugated metal pipe. Will the steel pipe need to have a larger or smaller diameter than the corrugated metal pipe? Calculate the percentage change in diameter
