TIME:
1. The curve surface represented by AB in the figure is the surface of the quadrant of a circular
cylinder 3 m long. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of total hydrostatic
pressure on the surface when r = 2.5m, z = 0

2. A pressure vessel 325 mm in diameter is to be fabricated from steel plates. The vessel is to
carry an internal pressure of 5 MPa.
a) Find the required thickness of the plate if the vessel is to be cylindrical. The allowable
stress is 125 MPa.
b) What is the required thickness of the plate if the vessel is to be spherical. Allowable stress
is 125 MPa.
c) The vessel to be fabricated is a cylinder using 12 mm thick steel plating. What is the max.
internal pressure that the vessel can carry if the allowable steel stress is 55 MPa?
3. Compute the wall stress in a 1200 mm steel 6 mm thick under a head of 125 m of oil (sp.gr.
0.82)
4. A cylindrical tank, having a vertical axis, is 4 m in diameter and 6 m high. Its sides are held
position by means of two steel hoop one at the top and one at the bottom. What is tensile stress
in each hoop when the tank is filled with water
