Question

Using python

We have a steam heating boiler whose bursting pressure is known, but we of course want to use it only at pressures well below this limit. Our engineers recommend a safety factor of 3; that is, we should never exceed a pressure that is one-third of the rated bursting pressure. Write a program that reads in the rated bursting pressure and the current pressure, and determines if the boiler is operating at a safe pressure. For example: Enter the rated bursting pressure of the boiler (psi): 625 Enter the current pressure (psi): 137.8 The maximum safe pressure is 208.3 psi. The current pressure is safe. or Enter the rated bursting pressure of the boiler (psi): 625 Enter the current pressure (psi): 250 The maximum safe pressure is 208.3 psi. WARNING! The current pressure is not safe.

Answer 1

rbp = float(input("Enter the rated bursting pressure of the boiler (psi): "))
cp = float(input("Enter the current pressure (psi): "))
msp = rbp/3
print("The maximum safe pressure is %.1f psi."%msp)
if(cp < msp):
    print("The current pressure is safe.")
else:
    print("WARNING! The current pressure is not safe.")
