A tall open-topped standpipe has an inside diameter of 2,250 mm and a wall thickness of 8 mm. The standpipe contains water, which has a mass density of 1,000 kg/m³. What height h of water will produce a circumferential stress of 51 MPa in the wall of the standpipe? (Weight density = mass density x 9.81 m/s²)
