For each of the following problem, check the applicability of the thin-wall theory. Unless otherwise noted, the stated diameter represents an inside diameter.

A gas is to be stored in a spherical steel tank 6 m in diameter. The wall thickness is 23 mm. Assume all joints to be groove-welded butt joints with a 90 percent joint efficiency. Calculate the maximum safe internal gage pressure if the allowable tensile stress for the steel is 100 MPa.
