Problem 2. An 8-inch steel pipe as shown is suspended by steel hangers. Assume that the pipe is full of water and is supported every 20 feet. a. Determine the maximum displacement of the pipe. b. If the maximum moment is ${\mathrm{wL}}^2/8$ and the maximum stress is $42\mathrm{ksi}$, what is the maximum spacing of the hangers? c. If the maximum shear force is $wL/2$, determine the maximum shear stress in the pipe given the hanger spacing found in the previous step. d. Does the maximum shear stress exceed $25.2\mathrm{ksi}$ ? e. Determine the maximum displacement of the pipe given the maximum hanger spacing. f. Does the displacement exceed L/180?
