An external pressure $P$ is applied on a cube at $0^o C$ so that it is equally compressed from all sides. $K$ is the bulk modulus of the material of the cube and a 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
