A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel has a diameter of 1.7 metres and contains gas at a pressure of 24 MPa. The wall thickness of the vessel is 9.6 mm. Determine the magnitude of the hoop stress in the tank. Input your answer in units of MPa to one decimal place. So if the value is 71.5E06, just enter "71.5".
