A single strain gage forming an angle B = 18° with a horizontal plane is used to determine the gage pressure in the cylindrical steel tank shown. The cylindrical wall of the tank is 6 mm thick, has a 600-mm inside diameter, and is made of a steel with E= 200 GPa and v = 0.30. Determine the pressure in the tank indicated by a strain gage reading of 320μ. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The pressure in the tank is MPa.
