The pressure vessel shown has diameter 7.6 (in) and thickness 0.154 (in) and is made of steel with modulus of elasticity 29 (Mpsi). Two gauges are mounted on it with one aligned with the axis of the vessel. A measurement of 370 (microstrain) is taken from the hoop gauge. Use the formula for hoop stress given below for a thin walled vessel to calculate the internal pressure of the vessel.
