As we have learned

Thermal Strain -

\frac{\Delta L}{L}=\alpha\; \Delta\; \theta

- wherein

\alpha=\frac{\Delta L}{L}\times \frac{1}{\Delta\; \theta}

 

 Thermal strain 

 \frac{\Delta l }{l } - \alpha \Delta T\\ = 1.1 \times 10^{-5}\times 100\\ = 1.1 \times 10 ^{-3 }

 

Thermal stess = Y strain 

       = 2 \times 10 ^{11}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}\\ = 2.2 \times 10^8N/m^2

Pressure required = 2.2 \times 10 ^ 8 Pa

 

 

 

 


Option 1)

2.2 x108 Pa

Option 2)

2.2 x109 Pa

Option 3)

2.2 x107 Pa

Option 4)

2.2 x106 Pa
