Answer

The iron will shrink by about 0.022%

Work Step by Step

We can solve for the percent change in volume using the following formula: $\frac{\Delta V}{V_0}=-\frac{1}{B}\Delta P$ $\frac{\Delta V}{V_0}=-\frac{1}{B_{iron}}\Delta P$ $\frac{\Delta V}{V_0}=-\frac{1}{90*10^9N/m^2}(200*1.0*10^5N/m^2-1.1*10^5N/m^2)$ $\frac{\Delta V}{V_0}=-2.2*10^{-4}$ $-2.2*10^{-4}*100=-0.022$% The iron will shrink by about 0.022%
