) A gas cylinder of internal diameter 40 mm is 5 mm thick. If the tensile stress in the material is not to exceed 30 MPa, find the maximum pressure which can be allowed in the cylinder.
Added by Dennis S.
Step 1
The formula for the maximum pressure (P) in a cylinder is given by P = 2tσ/d, where t is the thickness of the cylinder, σ is the tensile stress, and d is the internal diameter of the cylinder. Show more…
