c) A pumping plant forces water through a 600 mm diameter main, the friction head being 27 m. In order to reduce the power consumption, it is proposed to lay another main of appropriate diameter along the side of the existing one, so that the two pipes may work in parallel for the entire length and reduce the friction head to 9·6 m only. Find the diameter of the new main if with the exception of diameter, it is similar to the existing one in every aspect.
