A cylindrical tank with its axis vertical is 1.0 m diameter and 3.6 m high. It is held together by two steel hoops, one at the top and the other at the bottom. There liquids A, B and C having specific gravities of 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 respectively fill the tank, each having a depth of 1.2 m. On the surface, there is atmospheric pressure. Find the tensile stress in each hoop, if each hoop has a cross- sectional area of 1200 mm?.
