An external pressure P is applied on a cube at 0°C so that it is equally compressed from all sides.K is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and α is its coefficient of linear expansion. Suppose we want to bring the cube to its original size by heating. The temperature should be raised by

  • 3α/PK

  • 3PKα

  • P/3αK

  • P/αK

Solution

C.

P/3αK

Due to thermal expansion
fraction numerator increment straight v over denominator straight v end fraction space equals space 3 straight alpha increment straight T
Due space to space External space pressure
fraction numerator increment straight v over denominator straight v end fraction space equals space straight P over straight K
equating space both space straight W subscript 1 space get
3 straight alpha space increment straight T space equals space straight P over straight K
increment straight T space equals space fraction numerator straight P over denominator 3 αK end fraction
