A horizontal gas cylinder contains a gas at high pressure. A cross-section of the cylinder's hemispherical end-cap is shown below, with a point X X\,X marked on the curved inner surface. The tangent to the curved surface at X X\,X makes an angle of 30∘ 30^\circ\,30∘ with the horizontal longitudinal axis of the cylinder.
