Question

An enclosed water tank is fitted with a semi-spherical observation window. The observation window is situated h = 6 m below the water surface, and it is fixed to the side of the tank with four high strength steel bolts. Given that each bolt can sustain a maximum tensile force of 500 kN, is the observation window properly secured?
