Chapter 8, Problem 8.3.5P
An inflatable structure used by a traveling circus has the shape of a half-circular cylinder with closed ends (see figure). The fabric and plastic structure is inflated by a small blower and has a radius of 40 ft when fully inflated. A longitudinal scam runs the entire length of the "ridge" of the structure.
If the longitudinal scam along the ridge tears open when it is subjected to a tensile load of 540 pounds per inch of seam, what is the factor of safety n against tearing when the internal pressure is 0,5 psi and the structure is fully inflated?

The outside and inside diameters of the tube are 3.0 and 2.75 in., respectively. A concentric solid circular bar B of 1.5 in. diameter is mounted inside the lube. When no load is present, there is a clearance c = 0.0I0 in. between the bar B and the rigid plate.
