Detailed Solution

Consider a very small (differential) disc element at a distance y from the upper base.
Let r and e+dr denote the radii of upper and lower surfaces. Respectively and A and A+dA be the 
corresponding areas. Let w denotes the weight of the body above the elemental disc and dw that of 
the elemental disc. Normal compressive stress at the top surface of the whole body is  σPπr02......(i)
 Question Image
Now, consider the normal compressive stress acting over both the surfaces of the element. We can write 
P+wA=P+w+dwA+dA=σ= constant
 PA+PdA+wA+wdA=PA+wA+Adw dA(P+w)=Adw dAdw=AP+w=1σ
 
                                
The increment in area between upper and lower surfaces of the differential disc is dA=π(r+dr)2πr2α2π/drdW=πr2p(dy)
The increment in weight is 
Using these in equation (ii) 
  2πrdrπr2ρdy=1σ 2drr=ρσdy 2t0r1rdr=ρσy   2lntt0=ρ(P/πt02)y
 
From Eq-1    2lnrr0=ρ(P/πr02)y
     ln  rr0=πr02ρ2Py r=r0e(πt02ρy/2P)
