please help answering by choosing one of the options listed below for a thumbs up!!!

 
**Problem Statement:**

The cylindrical tank has an external diameter of 20 inches and a wall thickness of 1/2 inch. The tank is pressurized to 200 psi and carries an axial tensile force of 24 kips. The maximum in-plane shear stress at the wall of the tank is most closely equal to:

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image contains a simplified diagram of a cylindrical tank with the following features:
- The tank is labeled with a length of 20 inches and a pressure of 200 psi.
- Axial tensile forces of 24 kips are applied at both ends of the tank, represented by arrows pointing away from the tank.

**Multiple Choice Options:**
- 950 psi
- 558 psi (selected)
- 0
- 1342 psi
