Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Hemisphere Seat Formula

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

I agree with you, the 10 foot long tube would not be exerting an axial 
force on a the seat.  I think the sphere segment is a bit different 
though because there should be some axial force everywhere however, 
except near the base of a 180 degree dome.  The apex should provide the 
most axial force.

If the answer is as simple as just using the SA of the base that would 
be great.
