Strain gauge b is attached to the surface of the gas tank

Chapter 10, Problem 10-44

(choose chapter or problem)

Strain gauge b is attached to the surface of the gas tank at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with x axis as shown. When the tank is pressurized, the strain gauge gives a reading of \(\epsilon_{b}=250\left(10^{-6}\right)\). Determine the pressure in the tank. The tank has an inner diameter of 1.5 m and wall thickness of 25 mm. It is made of steel having a modulus of elasticity E = 200 GPa and Poisson’s ratio  \(\nu=\frac{1}{3}\).
