A spherical pressure vessel has an inside diameter of 6 m and a wall thickness of 15 mm. The vessel will be constructed from steel [E = 200 GPa] that has a yield strength of 340 MPa and ultimate strength of 450 MPa. If the internal pressure in the vessel is 1,793 kPa, determine the factor of safety (2 decimals) with respect to the yield strength.
