A brass pipe has an internal diameter of400mm and a metal thickness of6mm. A triple layer ofbigh tensile wire ofdiameter 3 mm is wound closely round it at a tension of500 N. Find (a) the stress in the pipe when there is no internal pressure; (b) the maximum permissible internal pressure in the pipe if the working tensile stress in the brass is 60 MNhn2 ; (c) the stress in the steel wire under condition O). Treat the pipe as a thin cylinder and neglect longitudinal stresses and strains. E, = 200GN/m2; Erl OOGN/m:
