The hoop strain in the cylinder walls caused by the liquid is given by (pd/2tE) (1 – 1/2m).The longitudinal strain in the cylinder walls due to the liquid is (pd/2tE) (1/2 – 1/m).The volumetric deformation of the cylinder from the liquid pressure is (pd/2tE) (5/2 – 2/m).All of the above statements are correct.None of the above.

Explanation

Each statement accurately describes the strain or volumetric change in a cylinder subjected to internal liquid pressure: (A) hoop strain, (B) longitudinal strain, and (C) volumetric change. Therefore, option (D) correctly indicates that all these expressions are valid.
