4 identical hollow cylindrical columns of steel support a big structure of mass 50,000 kg.the inner and outer radii of the columns are 30cm and 40 cm respectively . Assuming load distribution to be uniform,calculate the compressional strain of each column.
what formula should i use for this? @IIT study group

oh I have to revise this section! elasticity and stuff, sorry
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its okie...:( u know youngs modulus n things lyk that??
OpenStudy (aravindg):
Young’s modulus of steel, Y = 2 × 1011 Pa
OpenStudy (aravindg):
Total force exerted, F = Mg = 50000 × 9.8 N
OpenStudy (aravindg):
Stress = Force exerted on a single column =(50000*9.8)/4 =122500 N

OpenStudy (aravindg):
Y= stress/strain
OpenStudy (aravindg):
strain=FY/A
OpenStudy (aravindg):
SRRY
OpenStudy (aravindg):
strain =stress/Y
OpenStudy (aravindg):
HERE STRESS =122500

Oh
OpenStudy (aravindg):
got it
OpenStudy (aravindg):
strain=F/AY
OpenStudy (aravindg):
STRAIN= (122500)/[3.14*((.6)^2-(.3)^2))*2*10^11]
OpenStudy (aravindg):
Hence, the compressional strain of each column is 7.22 × 10^–7
