A garden hose with the water valve shut and the nozzle closed sits in the sun, full of liquid water. Initially, the water is at 10 C and 6 bar. After some time the temperature of the water rises to 40 C. Owing to the increase in temperature and pressure and the elasticity of the hose, the internal diameter of the hose increases by 0.35%. Estimate the final pressure of the water in the hose.
Data: B(ave) = 250 x 10 K-¹: (ave) = 45 x 10-6 bar-¹
