Week 3

The document discusses strength of materials and problems involving calculating stresses and pressures in cylindrical pressure vessels. Problem 2 asks the reader to calculate the allowable internal pressure for a 4-foot diameter spherical tank with a 5/6 inch wall thickness if the stress is limited to 8000 psi. Problem 3 asks the reader to calculate the minimum wall thickness for a cylindrical vessel with a 2 foot diameter that must carry a gas at 1400 psi while limiting stress to 12 ksi. Problem 4 asks the reader to determine the maximum internal pressure that can be applied to a cylindrical vessel with a 450mm diameter, 20mm wall thickness, and 2m length if longitudinal stress is limited to 140MPa and circumferential stress is limited to 60MPa.
