Answer:
a)


b)


Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
diameter d = 12 in
thickness t = 0.25 in
the radius = d/2 = 12 / 2 = 6 in
r/t = 6/0.25 = 24
24 > 10
Using the thin wall cylinder formula;
The valve A is opened and the flowing water has a pressure P of 200 psi.
So;




b)The valve A is closed and the water pressure P is 250 psi.
where P = 250 psi
