- A spherical balloon is filled with a gas. The outer diameter of the balloon is 20 in. and the thickness is 0,012 in. Calculate the maximum permissible pressure in the balloon if the allowable tensile stress and the allowable shear stress in the balloon are 1 ksi and 0.3 ksi, respectively.arrow_forwardTwo bars AC and BC of the same material support a vertical load P (see figure). The length L of the horizontal bar is fixed, but the angle fl can be varied by moving support A vertically and changing the length of bar AC to correspond with the new position of support A. The allowable stresses in the bars are the same in tension and compression. When the angle ft is reduced, bar AC becomes shorter, but the cross-sectional areas of both bars increase because the axial forces are larger. The opposite effects occur if the angle 0 is increased. Thus, the weight of the structure (which is proportional to the volume) depends upon the angle ft. Determine the angle ft so that the structure has minimum weight without exceeding the allowable stresses in the bars. Note: The weights of the bars are very small compared to the force P and may be disregarded.arrow_forwardThe hollow drill pipe for an oil well (sec figure) is 6,2 in. in outer diameter and 0.75 in. in thickness. Just above the bit, the compressive force in the pipe (due to the weight of the pipe) is 62 kips and the torque (due to drilling) is 185 kip-in. Determine the maximum tensile, compressive, and shear stresses in the drill pipe.arrow_forward
