The hemispherical dome in weighs 37.9 kN and is filled with water and attached to the floor by 7 equally spaced bolts. What is the total hydrostatic force in KN acting on the dome? Radius of the dome is 2 m, height of the pipe is 5 m and diameter of the pipe is 8 cm. Unit weight of water is 9.81 KN/m3. r BOLTS
the pipe? [-2. A steel pipeline with a nominal diameter of 24 in has an ID of 22.624 in (575 mm) and a wall thickness of 0.688 in (17.5 mm) carries a flow of 28 ft3/s (794 L/s). The pipe makes a short-radius 90° turn. What is the force developed in a buttress at the bend? What stress would be developed in the pipe by this change in direction if no buttress were provided? -3. What is the maximum stress which could be produced in the pipe of Prob. 6-2 as a result of suddenly closing a valve in the line? (K for water is approximately 10 percent of the value of E for steel.)
