Lyndon! Whats up? You are the only one who “got it”

to answer your question, Im not sure. I did the math on paper, I know its right, but I know the number is not correct either.

I must be using the wrong formula, or mis-interpreting the conditions.

Tangential stress:

Radial Stress:  
  
Variables:

For my conditions:  
a=0"  
b=3.375"  
v=.30  
p=.275 lb/in^3  
r= 0" for radial  
r= 3.375" for tangential  
stress= 294,426 PSI

I am solving all formulas for Omega.
