A pipeline with an outside diameter of 500 mm and a wall thickness of 10 mm is pressurized to 1.8 MPa. Due to thermal expansion, a compressive force of 34 kN is generated along the length of the pipes. Determine the normal stress along the length of the pipes. Ignore the bending stresses due to the weight of the pipes and the fluid that they contain.
