A ring-shaped seal, made from a viscoelastic material, is used to seal a joint between two rigid pipes. When incorporated in the

joint, the seal is held at a xed compressive strain of 0.2. Assuming that the seal can be treated as a Maxwell model, determine the time before the seal begins to leak under and internal uid pressure of 0.3 MPa. It can be assumed that the relaxation time 0 of the material is 300 days and the short-term (instantaneous) modulus of the material is 3 MPa.
