    Hollow cylinder vs Solid cylinder. Which has a better strength to weight ratio?

    Solid cylinder: 12 mm diameter Second moment of area = 1.02 * 10^(-9) m^4 BM = 12 kNm Hollow cylinder: 25 mm diameter 1.2 mm wall thickness Second moment of area = 6.37 * 10^(-9) m^4 BM = 12 kNm Which has a better strength to weight ratio? What the maximum bending stress of each? Why would...
