Suppose a steel strut having a cross-sectional area of 7.00 x 10-4 m2 and length 2.20 m is bolted between two rigid bulkheads in the engine room of a submarine. Assume the density of steel is the same as that of iron (7.86 x 103 kg/m3).   (a) Calculate the change in temperature of the strut if it absorbs an energy of 3.00 x 105 J of thermal energy.   (b) Calculate the compressional stress in the strut.
