A strain gauge is mounted on the outer surface of a thin cylindrical pressure vessel in the circumferential direction. The mean diameter and thickness of the cylinder are 4.0 m and 20 mm, respectively. Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of the material of the cylinder are 200 GPa and 0.25, respectively. Find the pressure in MPa inside the cylindrical vessel when the strain gauge indicates a strain of 7.0x 10-4. ____________
