    For the same internal diameter, wall thickness, material and internal pressure, the ratio of maximum stress, induced in a thin cylindrical and in a thin spherical pressure vessel will be:

    A) 2                                 

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C) 4                                 

    D) \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{({{\sigma }_{\theta }})}_{cyl}}=\frac{pd}{2t}\] \[{{({{\sigma }_{\theta }})}_{cyl}}=\frac{pd}{4t}\] \[\frac{{{({{\sigma }_{\theta }})}_{cyl}}}{{{({{\sigma }_{\theta }})}_{sph}}}=2\]
