Question
A steel rod of length $1 \mathrm{~m}$ and cross sectional area $10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ is heated from $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ without being allowed to extend or bend. The compressive tension produced in the rod is ___________ $\times 10^{4} \mathrm{~N}$. (Given Young's modulus of steel $=2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$, coefficient of linear expansion $=10^{-5} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$ )
