Question:
A steel penstock has a 750 mm outer diameter, a 12 mm wall thickness, and connects a reservoir at A with a generating station at B. Knowing that the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3, determine the maximum normal stress and the maximum shearing stress in the penstock under static conditions. The steel pressure tank shown below has a 750 mm inner diameter and a 9 mm wall thickness. Knowing that the butt-welded seams from an angle = 50o with the longitudinal axis of the tank and that the gage pressure in the tank is 1.5 MPa, determine the normal stress perpendicular to the weld, the shearing stress parallel to the weld.
