Four identical hollow cylindrical columns of mild steel support a big structure of mass $50 \times 10^{3} \; \text{kg}$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $50 \; \text{cm}$ and $100 \; \text{cm}$ respectively. Assuming uniform load distribution,calculate the compressive strain of each column. [Use $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \; \text{Pa}$,$g = 9.8 \; \text{m/s}^2$]

  • A
    $3.60 \times 10^{-8}$
  • B
    $2.60 \times 10^{-7}$
  • C
    $1.87 \times 10^{-3}$
  • D
    $7.07 \times 10^{-4}$
