a uniform pressure P is exerted on all sides of a solid cube. it is heated through T K in orderf to bring it back to the value it had before the application of pressure. then what is T ?

Answer»

essure P (= stress = Force/Area) is applied on the surface of the cube, it is compressed. The compression is DUE to elasticity.  Let Y be the YOUNG's modulus of elasticity of the material of the cube.When the cube is HEATED,  it EXPANDS due to increase in temperature.  Let α be the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material.  Let L be the side of the cube.   Y = Stress / Strain       = P / (ΔL / L)   ΔL = compression = P L / Y    ΔL = α L T  Hence,  α L T = P L / Y           =>  T = P / α Y
