Direction: A cylindrical container of radius R = 1 m, wall thickness 1 mm is filled with water up to a depth of 2 m and suspended along its upper rim. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2. The self-weight of the cylinder is negligible. The formula for hoop stress in a thin-walled cylinder can be used at all points along the height of the cylindrical container.

  1. The axial and circumferential stress (σa, σc) experienced by the cylinder wall at mid-depth (m as shown) are

    Pressure at mid – depth = ρgh = 103 × 10 × 1 = 104 N/m2

    ∴ σa =

    104 × 2
    4t4 × 10-3

    = 5 × 106 N/mm2 = 5 MPa
    σa =

    104 × 2
    = 10MPa

    We know E = 2G[1 + v]
    E/G = 2[1 + v].

    18. Here, Px = Px = Px = – 15 × 106 Pa
    (compression)

    Now, ex
    Px
    =
    Py
    =
    Pz
    = 3 × 10-5
    T2 π

    where, m = Poisson’s ratio
    ex = ey = ez = 3 × 10-5
    ex + ey + ez = 9 × 10-5
    ∴ Change in volume = Total strain × Original = 90 m3
