Detailed Solution

Energy stored per unit volume is given by

$u = \frac{Y \times (strain)^{2}}{2} = \frac{10^{11}}{2} \times {(\frac{change in length}{original length})}^{2} Where Y is Young's modulus$

$\Rightarrow u = \frac{10^{11}}{2} {(\frac{αLΔθ}{L})}^{2} = \frac{10^{11}}{2} {(12 \times 10^{- 6} \times 20)}^{2} = 2880 - {Jm}^{- 3}$
