A large pipe, called a penstock in a hydraulic work, is 1.5 m in diameter. It is composed of wooden staves bound together by steel hoops, each 300 mm2 in cross-section. It is used to conduct water from reservoir to a powerhouse. If the maximum tensile stress in the hoops is 130 MPa, what is the maximum spacing between hoops under a head of water of 30m?
