How can it be that babies are so routinely born perfectly formed?
If you consider evoltion theory, the chance on a miscariage has been eliminated to a minimum. The organisms that would'nt be able to succesfully reproduce, would go extinct. This can also been seen as natural selection of ''good'' genes.- Forensic-guy

Analyzing Tank Breakage at 10m: Calculating Pressure and Tension | Forum Post
You are right, I made a big mistake, i typed one 0 too much. The correct density is 1300kg/m^3 P=rho*g*h P=1300*9.81*2.15 = 27419 N/m^2 (for the stress test again 5mm wall thickness) stress= P*r / t stress= 27419 N/m^2 * 7 meter/ (5*10^-3) meter = 38 386 600 Pa Tensile test = 250 N/mm^2 =...- Forensic-guy

Analyzing Tank Breakage at 10m: Calculating Pressure and Tension | Forum Post
Ok so if I understand you correctly. The result of the tensile test are from a height of 10 meter so that leaves 2,15 meter p=rho*g*h p=1,3 kg/m3*9.81m/s2*2.15m= 27.41 (unit=kg/m/s?) My earlier post of the radius is wrong the diameter=14m and the radius=7m lets take a thickness of 5mm for the...- Forensic-guy

Analyzing Tank Breakage at 10m: Calculating Pressure and Tension | Forum Post
Thank you for all your replies. The liquid in the tank is biological compound which makes the density that high. A short time before the tank broke the tank filled to its maximum capacity. After the tank broke, four pieces were sent in for further investigation. A tensile test was performed...- Forensic-guy

Analyzing Tank Breakage at 10m: Calculating Pressure and Tension | Forum Post
Hello people, This is my first forum post, so i hope I'm posting my problem in the right area. I have been looking trough books, internet and forum posts but i could not find anything helpful. Homework Statement A circular tank holds a liquid with a density of 13000 kg/m3. The tank has...- Forensic-guy
