The bulk modulus of copper is $1.4 \times 10^{11} \ Pa$ and the coefficient of linear expansion is $1.7 \times 10^{-5} (^{\circ}C)^{-1}$. What hydrostatic pressure is necessary to prevent a copper block from expanding when its temperature is increased from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$?

  • A
    $6.0 \times 10^5 \ Pa$
  • B
    $7.1 \times 10^7 \ Pa$
  • C
    $5.2 \times 10^6 \ Pa$
  • D
    $40 \ atm$
