A cylindrical storage tank contains liquefied propane under a pressure of 1.5 MPa (gage pressure P=1.5 MPa) and is subjected to an axial force F=60 kN. Knowing that the tank has an inner diameter of 320 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm, find the principal stresses and determine the maximum shear stress.
