The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$ \frac{ F }{ A } =$ stress $=3.5 \times 10^{8} N / m ^{2} $ $A =2 \pi rt $ $=2 \pi \times \frac{1}{2} \times 0.3 $ $=0.3 \pi \times 10^{-4} m ^{2} $ $ F = A \times$ stress $=0.3 \pi \times 10^{-4} \times 3.5 \times 10^{8} $ $=1.05 \pi \times 10^{4}$ $=3.3 \times 10^{4} N $
