"Radius" →TAG
X Y + 2 / (0,0) +

Example:
σx = 100
σy = -220
τ = 80

Results:
R ≈ 178.88544
S = -60 (center (-60,0))
θ ≈ 13.28253° ≈ .23183 radians

Horizontal Pipe Discharge

Variables:
X, Y, and D (diameter of the pipe) are in inches. Flow (Q) is calculated in GPM (gallons per minute).

Q ≈ .25974 * π * D^2/4 * X * √( g /(2 * Y))

Where
g = 9.80665 m/s^2 ≈ 386.08858 in/s^2
1 in^3/s ≈ .25974 gal/min

Internal Pressure in a Vessel

I = inner radius of the vessel
O = outer radius of the vessel
P = pressure of the water flow
σh = hoop stress

σh = P * (O^2 + I^2)/(O^2 - I^2)

Result:
σh ≈ 11.3333 lb/(s*in^2)

This is good stuff, the X and Y is Horizontal and Vertical distance measured in inches. it may be better to do these measurements using a V-notch weir.
