A metal bar of length \(L\) and area of cross-section \(A\) is clamped between two rigid supports. For the material of the rod, its Young’s modulus is \(Y\) and the coefficient of linear expansion is \(\alpha\). If the temperature of the rod is increased by \(\Delta t^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the force exerted by the rod on the supports will be:
