A pressure vessel is constructed with an open-ended steel cylinder of diameter 6in, length 8in, and wall thickness 0.375in. The ends are sealed with rigid end plates held by four 1/4 diameter bolts. The bolts have 18 threads per inch, and the retaining nuts have been tightened 1/4 turn beyond their just-snug point before pressure is applied. Find the internal pressure that will just cause incipient leakage from the vessel.
