A spherical pressure vessel has an inside diameter of 4.9 m and a wall thickness of 17 mm. The vessel will be constructed from a special steel [E = 224 GPa; v = 0.27] that has a yield strength of 250 MPa. If the internal pressure in the vessel is 1410 kPa, determine (a) the normal stress in the vessel wall. Answer in MPa rounded-off to 1 decimal place.
