Abstract: We study the spherical gravitational collapse of a compact object under the approximation that the radial pressure is identically zero, and the tangential pressure is related to the density by a linear equation of state. It turns out that the Einstein equations can be reduced to the solution of an integral for the evolution of the area radius. We show that for positive pressure there is a finite region near the center which necessarily expands outwards, if collapse begins from rest. This region could be surrounded by an inward moving one which could collapse to a singularity - any such singularity will necessarily be covered by a horizon. For negative pressure the entire object collapses inwards, but any singularities that could arise are not naked. Thus the nature of the evolution is very different from that of dust, even when the ratio of pressure to density is infinitesimally small.
