The gas tank is made from A-36 steel and has an inner diameter of 1.50 m. If the tank is designed to withstand a pressure of 5 MPa, determine the required minimum wall thickness to the nearest millimeter using (a) the maximum-shear-stress theory, and (b) maximum-distortion-energy theory. Apply a factor of safety of 1.5 against yielding.
