Answer:

When light enters from air to water i.e. it is moving from rarer to denser medium, it changes its original path as there is a change of speed of light and deflects itself towards the normal. This is known as the refraction of light and this is why a pencil in a cup of water looks as if it is broken and larger.

P14.003A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 8.1 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressur

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank is 0.0189 m

Explanation:

Given data:

d = inside diameter = 8.1 m

P = internal pressure = 1.26 MPa

σ = 270 MPa

factor of safety = 2

Question: Determine the minimum wall thickness required for the spherical tank, tmin = ?

The allow factor of safety:

$\sigma _{a} =\frac{\sigma }{factor-of-safety} =\frac{270}{2} =135MPa$

The minimun wall thickness:

$t=\frac{Pd}{4\sigma _{a} } =\frac{1.26*8.1}{4*135} =0.0189m$
