nope. only basic pressure, and young modulus.

It is a homework that is supposed to be challenging and makes us think, AS level physics knowledge should be adequate. material for flat and curved surface is the same, with uniform thickness, and the joint is as strong as the material itself.

Homework Statement In a cylinder & piston system, where is the weakest point on the cylinder (the point that will break under increasing pressure)? You may assume the joint between edges are as strong as the material. This is homework for A-level students. Homework Equations P = F/A Surface...
