A uniform cylindrical rod of length $L$ and radius $r$, is made from a material whose Young's modulus of Elasticity equals $Y$. When this rod is heated by temperature $T$ and simultaneously subjected to a net longitudinal compressional force $F$, its length remains unchanged. The coefficient of volume expansion, of the material of the rod, is (nearly) equals to
$9F/\left( {\pi {r^2}YT} \right)$
$F/\left( {3\pi {r^2}YT} \right)$
$3F/\left( {\pi {r^2}YT} \right)$
$6F/\left( {\pi {r^2}YT} \right)$
Solution

Lenght of cylinder remains unchanged
So ${\left( {\frac{F}{A}} \right)_{compressive}} = {\left( {\frac{F}{A}} \right)_{Themal}}$
$\frac{F}{{\pi {r^2}}} = Y\alpha T\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( {\alpha \,is\,liner\,coefficient\,of\,\exp ansion} \right)$
$\therefore \alpha = \frac{F}{{YT\pi {r^2}}}$
$\therefore \,The\,coefficient\,of\,volume\,expansion\,\gamma = 3\alpha $
$\therefore \gamma =3 \frac{F}{{YT\pi {r^2}}}$
