Problem

An external pressure P is applied on a cube at 0∘C0^\circ\text{C} so that it is equally compressed from all sides. K is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and α\alpha 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 : [Main 2017] (1) 3αPK\frac{3\alpha}{PK} (2) 3PKα3PK\alpha (3) P3αK\frac{P}{3\alpha K} (4) PαK\frac{P}{\alpha K}
