14.1 Pressure Vessel Supplemental Examples
Problem 1:
Problem 2: A 4’-tall barrel contains water (unit weight of water w = 62.4 lb/ft3). What is the pressure that is acting on the sides of the barrel, at its bottom? (report this in units of psi).

Water, w = 62.4 lb/ft3)
Pressure, p = ?
Problem 3: For the previous tank, if the wall thickness is 0.1” and the diameter is 2’, determine the hoop stress in the tank.
