A brass wire 1.8 m long at 27C is held taut with a little tension between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled to a temperature of 39C, what is the tension created in the wire?
(Assume diameter of the wire to be 2.0 mm, coefficient of linear expansion of brass =2.0×105 K1, Young's modulus of brass=0.91×1011 Pa )
1. 3.8×103 N 
2. 3.8×102 N 
3. 2.9×102 N 
4. 2.9×102 N
