Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50,000 \; kg$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $30 \; cm$ and $60 \; cm$ respectively. Assuming the load distribution to be uniform,calculate the compressional strain of each column. (Take Young's modulus of mild steel $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; Pa$ and $g = 9.8 \; m/s^2$)

  • A
    $8.96 \times 10^{-5}$
  • B
    $2.56 \times 10^{-6}$
  • C
    $5.52 \times 10^{-8}$
  • D
    $7.22 \times 10^{-7}$
