A 2-m-diameter horizontal cylinder is formed by bolting two semicylindrical channels together on the inside. There are 12 bolts per meter of width holding the top and bottom together. The inside pressure is 60 kPa (gage). Using potential theory for the outside pressure, compute the tension force in each bolt if the free stream fluid is sea-level air and the free-stream wind speed is 25 m/s.
