$A$ brass wire $1.8\; m$ long at $27\;^{\circ}C$ is held taut with little tension between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled to a temperature of $-39\;^{\circ}C$,what is the tension developed in the wire,if its diameter is $2.0\; mm$? (Coefficient of linear expansion of brass $\alpha = 2.0 \times 10^{-5}\; K^{-1}$; Young's modulus of brass $Y = 0.91 \times 10^{11}\; Pa$)

  • A
    $3.8 \times 10^{2}\; N$
  • B
    $9.4 \times 10^{4}\; N$
  • C
    $2.7 \times 10^{1}\; N$
  • D
    $8.4 \times 10^{2}\; N$
