Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate the allowable working stress.

    The allowable working stress (σw\sigma_w) is determined by dividing the ultimate stress (σu\sigma_u) by the factor of safety (FOS).

    σw=σuFOS\sigma_w = \frac{\sigma_u}{\text{FOS}}

    Given σu=480 MPa\sigma_u = 480 \, \text{MPa} and FOS=4\text{FOS} = 4:

    σw=480 MPa4\sigma_w = \frac{480 \, \text{MPa}}{4} σw=120 MPa\sigma_w = 120 \, \text{MPa}

    The allowable working stress is 120 MPa\boxed{\text{120 MPa}}.

  2. Determine the required cross-sectional area of the tube.

    The tensile load (PP) is 400 kN400 \, \text{kN}, which is 400×103 N400 \times 10^3 \, \text{N}. The allowable working stress (σw\sigma_w) is 120 MPa120 \, \text{MPa}, which is 120×106 Pa120 \times 10^6 \, \text{Pa} (N/m2^2).
    The area (AA) is calculated using the formula σw=PA\sigma_w = \frac{P}{A}, so A=PσwA = \frac{P}{\sigma_w}.

    A=400×103 N120×106 PaA = \frac{400 \times 10^3 \, \text{N}}{120 \times 10^6 \, \text{Pa}} A=400120000 m2A = \frac{400}{120000} \, \text{m}^2 A=1300 m2≈0.003333 m2A = \frac{1}{300} \, \text{m}^2 \approx 0.003333 \, \text{m}^2
  3. Calculate the outside diameter of the tube.

    The tube is hollow with an inside diameter (did_i) of 100 mm=0.1 m100 \, \text{mm} = 0.1 \, \text{m}. The area of a hollow tube is given by:

    A=π4(do2−di2)A = \frac{\pi}{4} (d_o^2 - d_i^2)

    We need to solve for the outside diameter (dod_o). Rearrange the formula:

    4Aπ=do2−di2\frac{4A}{\pi} = d_o^2 - d_i^2 do2=4Aπ+di2d_o^2 = \frac{4A}{\pi} + d_i^2 do=4Aπ+di2d_o = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi} + d_i^2}

    Substitute the values for AA and did_i:

    do=4×(1/300) m2π+(0.1 m)2d_o = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times (1/300) \, \text{m}^2}{\pi} + (0.1 \, \text{m})^2} do=175π+0.01 md_o = \sqrt{\frac{1}{75\pi} + 0.01} \, \text{m} do=0.00424413+0.01 md_o = \sqrt{0.00424413 + 0.01} \, \text{m} do=0.01424413 md_o = \sqrt{0.01424413} \, \text{m} do≈0.119348 md_o \approx 0.119348 \, \text{m}

    Convert the outside diameter to millimeters:

    do≈0.119348×1000 mmd_o \approx 0.119348 \times 1000 \, \text{mm} do≈119.35 mmd_o \approx 119.35 \, \text{mm}

    The outside diameter of the tube is 119.35 mm\boxed{\text{119.35 mm}}.
