Water penetrated into a crack in a rock and froze there. What is the resulting pressure?

Answer»


SOLUTION :To find the stress, apply Hooke.s law: `sigma = E EPSILON = E Delta rho//rho`.The change in the density is found from the data of `XI 33.5`. The stress appearing in the ICE is EQUAL to the pressure it exerts on the rock.
