An inflatable structure has the shape of a half-circular cylinder with hemispherical ends. The structure has a radius of 40 ft when inflated to a pressure of 0.60 psi. A longitudinal seam runs the entire length of the structure. The seam fails in tension when the load is 600 pounds per inch of seam. What is the factor of safety with respect to longitudinal seam failure?
