A cylindrical container of radius R = 1 m wall of thickness 1 mm is filled with water up to a depth of 2 m and suspended along its upper rim. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2. The self weight of the cylinder is negligible. The formula for hoop stress in a thin walled cylinder can be used at all points along the height of the cylindrical container.
The axial and circumferential stress $(\sigma_d,\sigma_c)$ experienced by the cylinder wall at mid-depth (1 m as shown) are
