The gas tank is made from A-36 steel (σy = 250 MPa) and has an inner diameter of 3.50 m. If the tank is designed to withstand a pressure of 1.2 MPa, determine the required minimum wall thickness to the nearest millimeter using (a) The maximum-shear-stress theory (b) Maximum distortion- energy theory. Apply a factor of safety of 1.5 against yielding.
