a decrease in diameter and length of the shell
an increase in diameter and decrease in length of the shell
a decrease in diameter and increase in length of the shell
an increase in diameter and length of the shell

When a thin shell is subjected to an internal pressure. Hoop stress developed is tensile therefore increase in dia also. Longitudinal stress developed is a tensile therefore increase in length also. So the correct answer is Option D.

Pd/4t is the formula for a thin cylindrical shell. So, p is directly proportional to d wherever d=2l.

How both diameter and length increases. I think so it is not correct.

In my view diameter decreases, length increases. Could anyone support me.

Abdul Rajik said:   1 decade ago
YES, In my thought of view is increase the Dia and Decrease the length.

Why both are not decrease?

Swaroopkumar said:   1 decade ago
It is based on pressure inside the shell.

HARDIK said:   1 decade ago
Pressure depend on volume of cylinder, so both is uniformly increasing. All related data is constant. So this is correct.

Its simple logic. When we blow air into balloon, its whole (3D) dimension will increase. Because the pressure inside it is uniformly distributed over its entire internal area.

Same concept is here. Here the internal pressure is not uniaxial in which longitudinal dimension will increase and lateral will decrease. It is of 3 dimensional. So given answer is correct.

Due to internal pressure, both d & L will increase as volume will also increase.

Pressure acting uniformly over entire inside area which tends it not to contract.
