An external pressure \(P\) is applied on a cube at \(0^o C\) so that it is equally compressed from all sides. \(K\) is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and a 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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{P}{{3\alpha K}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know , Bulk modulus

\(K = \frac{{\Delta P}}{{\left( {\frac{{ - \Delta V}}{V}} \right)}} \Rightarrow \frac{{\Delta V}}{V} = \frac{P}{K}\)

\(V = {V_0}\left( {1 + \gamma \Delta t} \right)\)

\(\frac{{\Delta V}}{{{V_0}}} = \gamma \Delta t\)

\(\therefore \frac{P}{K} = \gamma \Delta t \Rightarrow \Delta t = \frac{P}{{\gamma K}} = \frac{P}{{3\alpha K}}\)
