Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A thin-walled cylindrical tank has an internal radius of 5 m and a wall thickness of 0.1 m. If the internal pressure is 300 kPa, calculate the hoop and axial stresses.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Ensure you maintain units consistent while substituting.

Question 2

A chemistry lab holds a thin-walled tube under a vacuum of 50 kPa. If the tube’s internal radius is 0.2 m and thickness is 2 mm, calculate the stresses considering it’s subjected to both internal and external pressures.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Analyze each pressure separately before combining.
