A liquid storage tank consists of a vertical axis circular cylindrical shell closed at its lowered end by a hemispherical shell as shown in the figure. The weight of the system is carried by a ring like support at the topand the lower extremity is unsupported. A liquid of specific weight of 9KN/m^3 entirely fills the container. Consider H = 8m, R =2.4m, and plate thickness of 1.8mm. a.Find the peak stress in the hemispherical region. b.Calculate the peak circumferential stress in the cylindrical region. **Note = Pressure = specific weight xheight
