A thin walled, closed cylindrical vessel of inside diameter π and wall thickness π‘ contains a fluid under pressure π. The figure below shows a part of the cylindrical vessel; end caps are not shown. Consider the small element shown with sides parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. The stresses π1 and π2 are
- A. π1 = ππ 2π‘; π2 = ππ 4π‘
- B. π1 = ππ π‘; π2 = ππ 2π‘
- C. π1 = ππ 4π‘; π2 = ππ 2π‘
- D. π1 = ππ 2π‘; π2 = 0
Answer: A. π1 = ππ 2π‘; π2 = ππ 4π‘
