Lame's equation is used to find stresses in

AThin cylinders

BThick cylinders

CGears

DClutches

Answer:

B. Thick cylinders

Read Explanation:

Lame's equation is used to find stresses in thick cylinders where the ratio of inner diameter to wall thickness is more than 20. The tangential stress varies parabolically from the maximum value at the inner radius to the minimum value at the outer radius.
