2. An external pressure of 10 MN/m² is applied to a thick cylinder of internal diameter 160 mm and external diameter 320 mm. If the maximum hoop stress permitted on the inside wall of the cylinder's limited to 30 MN/m², what maximum internal pressure can be applied assuming the cylinder has close ends. What will be the change in outside diameter when the pressure is applied. E = 207GN/m² and Poisson's ratio as 0.29.
