The can is pressurized and an additional tensile stress of a $50 \: MPa$ is imposed along the axial direction as shown in the figure. Assume that the state of stress in the wall is uniform along its length. If the magnitudes of axial and circumferential components of stress in the can are equal, the pressure (in $MPa$) inside the can is ___________ (correct to two decimal places) Mechanics of Materials gateme-2018-set2 numerical-answers + – ♦Arjun 431 views answer comment Share Follow Add Sync Questions 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
