QUESTION 1

A thick-walled cylindrical tank with closed ends, an inside radius of a = 250 mm, and an outside
radius of b = 290 mm is submerged to a depth of 40 m. Assume that the density of seawater is
1,100 kg/m3. The tank also has an internal pressure of pi = 2 MPa. Determine the maximum
values of σr, σθ, and σ long, as well as the maximum shear stress in the walls of the cylinder
remote from its ends.

QUESTION 2

A closed-ended cylindrical pressure vessel is to be designed to have an internal diameter of 125

mm and to be subjected to an internal gage pressure of 10 MPa. The maximum circumferential
normal stress is not to exceed 100 MPa, and the maximum shear stress is not to exceed 60 MPa.
Determine the minimum external diameter that may be used for the vessel.
