I think it is option B.

Affricate said:   9 years ago
Anyone explain.

Apcivilian said:   9 years ago
I think, It should be C.

Umesh said:   9 years ago
The answer should be D.

Yogesh said:   9 years ago
Due to Internal pressure, only radial strain is caused, So longitudinal strain should be ZERO.

Akib said:   9 years ago
In open end no pressure is required so pressure is zero longitudinal strain is zero.

Correct @Yogesh.

Abhi said:   8 years ago
Longitudinal stress= PD/4t.
E=stress/strain.
D=2r.

Substitute. You'll get the answer as option C.

Shashi Ranjan said:   8 years ago
C would be the correct answer.

Ram Prasad Poudel said:   8 years ago
The answer given above is right i.e zero because it is the case of open-ended cylinder where no longitudinal stress is developed hence no longitudinal strain.

@Abhi.
This case is for a cylinder with closed ends.
