• The radial stress at the outer surface is 0 psi since the traction is zero at a free surface.
• The radial stress at the inner surface is -1000 psi since it has to equal the applied normal traction (radial direction is also the normal direction here). The negative sign indicates that the applied traction is compressive. 

The following tables displays display the results of these approximations:
