A Cylindrical Tank Is Assembled by Welding Steel Sections in a Helical

Question 5

Multiple Choice

A cylindrical tank is assembled by welding steel sections in a helical pattern with angle α=50\alpha = 50 ^ { \circ } . Tank diameter is 1.6 m, thickness is 20 mm, and internal pressure is 2.75 MPa. Modulus 2.75MPa2.75 \mathrm { MPa } \text {. } E=210GPaE = 210 \mathrm { GPa } 210 GPa and Poisson's Ratio ν = 0.28. The longitudinal strain in the the wall of the tank is approximately:
