  1. A metallic bar of Young's modulus, $0.5\times10^{11}$ N m$^{-2}$ and coefficient of linear thermal expansion $10^{-5}\ ^\circ C^{-1}$, length 1 m and area of cross-section $10^{-3}$ m$^2$ is heated from $0^\circ C$ to $100^\circ C$ without expansion or bending. The compressive force developed in it is:
