Answer: 33 mm
Explanation:
Given
Diameter of the tank, d = 9 m, so that, radius = d/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 m
Internal pressure of gas, P(i) = 1.5 MPa
Yield strength of steel, P(y) = 340 MPa
Factor of safety = 0.3
Allowable stress = 340 * 0.3 = 102 MPa
σ = pr / 2t, where
σ = allowable stress
p = internal pressure
r = radius of the tank
t = minimum wall thickness
t = pr / 2σ
t = 1.5*10^6 * 4.5 / 2 * 102*10^6
t = 0.033 m
t = 33 mm
The minimum thickness of the wall required is therefore, 33 mm
Answer:
E. Zero Maximum
Explanation:
At the point of maximum displacement, the speed is zero while the restoring force is maximum. In fact:
- The restoring force is given by
, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement - at the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so F is maximum as well
- the total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:

where m is the mass of the system and v is the speed. Since E (the total energy) is constant due to the law of conservation of energy, we have that when K increases, U decreases, and viceversa. As a result, when x increases, v decreases, and viceversa. At the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so v will have its minimum value (which is zero, since the system is changing direction of motion).
