Solution

The correct option is B $50 m m$
$H o o p s t r e s s = \frac{p d}{2 t} = 20 M P a$
$p = 200 m$ head of water
$= 200 k P a = 2 M P a$
$∴ t = \frac{2 \times 1}{20 \times 2} = 0.05 m = 50 m m$

A cast iron pipe of 1 m diameter is required to withstand a 200 m head of water. If the limiting tensile stress of the pipe material is 20 MPa, then the thickness of the pipe will be

The correct option is B 50 mmHoop stress =pd2t=20 MPa p=200 m head of water =200 kPa=2 MPa ∴ t=2×120×2=0.05 m=50 mm
