An A-36-steel hoop has an inner diameter of 23.99 in., thickness of 0.25 in., and width of 1 in. If it and the 24-in.-diameter rigid cylinder have a temperature of 65 F, determine the temperature to which the hoop should be heated in order for it to just slip over the cylinder.

Two hemispheres having an inner radius of 2 ft and wall thickness of 0.25 in. are fitted together, and the inside pressure is reduced to - 10 psi. If the coefficient of static friction is ,, = 0.5 between the hemispheres, determine (a) the torque T needed to initiate the rotation of the top hemisphere relative to the bottom one, (b) the vertical force needed to pull the top hemisphere off the bottom one, and (c) the horizontal force needed to slide the top hemisphere off the bottom one.

In order to increase the strength of the pressure vessel, filament winding of the same material is wrapped around the circumference of the vessel as shown. If the pretension in the filament is T and the vessel issubjected to an internal pressurep, determine the hoop stresses in the filament and in the wall of the vessel.
