An open ended thin-walled straight pipe is made of a material that can carry a maximum shear stress of $\tau_{\max}$. The pipe is of diameter, $d$, and thickness, $t$. The maximum internal pressure allowable is given by (neglecting the normal stress in the radial direction)
- A. $\left(\frac{t}{d}\right)\tau_{\max}$
- B. $2\left(\frac{t}{d}\right)\tau_{\max}$
- C. $\sqrt{2}\left(\frac{t}{d}\right)\tau_{\max}$
- D. $4\left(\frac{t}{d}\right)\tau_{\max}$
