Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a cylindrical pipe with an inner radius of 0.5 m and a wall thickness of 0.02 m. If the internal pressure exerts a traction of 150 N/m², calculate the total force exerted on the inner wall of the pipe.
💡 Hint: Calculate the inner radius and use it in the area formula.
A cylindrical vessel has a height of 2 m and a radius of 1 m. If the internal pressure creates a constant traction of 100 N/m², determine the net outward force on the curved surface area only.
💡 Hint: Curved surface area calculation can be broken down into height times circumference.
