A tank with an inside diameter of 385 mm, a length of 785 mm, and a wall thickness of 3.9 mm was designed to withstand a pressure of 750 kPa. If the outside of the tank has corroded such that the thickness is now 92% of the original value, what should the pressure now be limited to?

A driver accidentally bumped a fire hydrant creating a bending moment of 855 N·m in the pipe below. The pipe has an inside diameter of 190 mm and a wall thickness of 8 mm and is pressurized to 390 kPa. Determine the largest normal stress along the length of the pipe.

A pipeline with an outside diameter of 420 mm and a wall thickness of 9 mm is pressurized to 2.6 MPa. Due to thermal expansion, a compressive force of 30 kN is generated along the length of the pipes. Determine the normal stress along the length of the pipes. Ignore the bending stresses due to the weight of the pipes and the fluid that they contain.

The pressure hull of a space station module has an inside diameter of 4.7 m, a length of 5.9 m, and a wall thickness of 2.8 mm. It is made from an aluminum alloy with a yield strength of 248 MPa. If the hull is successfully pressure tested to 150 kPa on Earth, determine the factor of safety with respect to yielding.
