Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsCalculate the allowable working stress.
The allowable working stress () is determined by dividing the ultimate stress () by the factor of safety (FOS).
Given and :
The allowable working stress is .
Determine the required cross-sectional area of the tube.
The tensile load () is , which is . The allowable working stress () is , which is (N/m).
The area () is calculated using the formula , so .Calculate the outside diameter of the tube.
The tube is hollow with an inside diameter () of . The area of a hollow tube is given by:
We need to solve for the outside diameter (). Rearrange the formula:
Substitute the values for and :
Convert the outside diameter to millimeters:
The outside diameter of the tube is .
