Because free expansion of a bar stress will induce in the bar
As =σ = E ε
= E α dt ---- (1).
Where,
σ = Stress due to temperature expansion (N/m2, Pa).
E =Youngs Modulus (N/m2).
ε = Strain.
α = Temperature expansion coefficient (m/m°C).
dt = Temperature differance(°C).
As =σ = E ε
= E α dt ---- (1).

Since it is given that condition is Free to expand so no stress is produce because stress is the resistance to the external force.

If the bar is free to expand or contract there will be no stress induced in the body.

Steel's melting point is very high so there is no need of worry about stress with out any load apply.

Since there is no young modulus in the question, stress cannot be calculated.
Thermal stress = young modulus * stain.
Or
Thermal stress = young modulus*temperature expansion coefficient*temperature difference.
Thermal stress = young modulus * stain.
Or
Thermal stress = young modulus*temperature expansion coefficient*temperature difference.

Stress is depend upon the area.

The bar free for expansion, so there no stress.

@Krish: Thermal stress is dependent on temp because: stress=E*alpha*diff. in temp. wr alpha is co-efficient of thermal expansion.

Stress is independent on temp but depends on load and pressure(force also).

Body itself tends to restrict the expansion, there must be compressive stress induced.
