Determine pipe diameter only with wall thickness?

The information tells me to determine the diameter. The steel sheet thickness is given as 10mm. There's also a bending moment of 320 N/mm and a tensile strength of 400 N/mm^2. A safety factor of 2 against fracture is also supposed to apply. You can't calculate that without knowing the diameter. How is that supposed to work?

Because you need the section modulus for the bending stress and for that you need the diameter.

I don't have all the equations. It is a dimensioning task. A certain steel sheet is available, the load or the bending torque is known. It is now necessary to dimension the tube support. Standard task of instruction.
write the equation. It may be. 2 or 3 equations with 2 or 3 unknowns and the insertion may lead to a square equation … but it must go!
