A closed steel cylinder is completely filled with water at `0^(@)C`. The water is made to freeze at `0^(@)C`. Calculate the rise in pressure on the cylinder wall. It is known that density of water at `0^(@)C` is `1000 kg//m^(3)` and the density of ice at `0^(@)C` is `910 kg//m^(3)`. Bulk modulus of ice at `0^(@)C` is nearly `9 xx 10^(9) Pa`. [Compare this pressure to the atmospheric pressure. Now you can easily understand why water pipelines burst in cold regions as the winter sets in.]
