Abrass wire 1.8 m long at 27 °C is held taut with little tensionbetween two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled to a temperature of–39 °C, what is the tension developed in the wire, if itsdiameter is 2.0 mm? Co-efficient of linear expansion of brass = 2.0 ×10–5K–1;Young’s modulus of brass = 0.91 × 1011Pa.
