Because in spherical shell hoop stress is pd/4t, therefore, thickness(t ) = pd/4 * hoop stress
but in cylindrical shell it is= pd/ 2* hoop stress.
Therefore thickness more in the cylindrical shell for the same stress.
but in cylindrical shell it is= pd/ 2* hoop stress.
Therefore thickness more in the cylindrical shell for the same stress.
