3. A compressed-air tank has a cylindrical body with spherical end caps. The cylindrical body of the tanks has a 30-inch outer diameter and is made of a 3/8-inch steel plate. For an internal gage pressure of 180 psi, determine (a) the hoop stress and longitudinal stress in the cylindrical body and (b) the hoop stress in the spherical end caps.
