The small access hole A allows maintenance workers to enter the storage tank at ground level when it is empty. Two designs, (a) and (b), are shown for the hole cover. If the tank is full of fresh water, estimate the average pressure σ in the seal area of design (a) and the average increase ΔT in the initial tension in each of the 16 bolts of design (b). You may take the pressure over the hole area to be constant, and the pressure in the seal area of design (b) may be assumed to be atmospheric.
