An inflatable structure has the shape of a half-circular cylinder with hemispherical ends. The structure has a radius of 40 ft w
hen inflated to a pressure of 0.60 psi. A longitudinal seam runs the entire length of the structure. The seam fails in tension when the load is 600 pounds per inch of seam. What is the factor of safety with respect to longitudinal seam failure?

Answer: hello the diagram related to your question is missing please the third image is the missing part of the question
Fx = 977.76 Ib/ft
Explanation:
<u>Estimate the force that water exerts on the pier </u>
V = 12 ft/s
D( diameter ) = 6 ft
first express the force on the first half of the cylinder as
Fx1 = - ---------------- ( 1 )
where ; Fy = 0
Ps = Po + 1/2 Pv^2 ( 1 - 4 sin^2β ) ------------- ( 2 )
Input equation (2) into equation ( 1 ) (note : assuming Po = 0 )
attached below is the remaining part of the solution
