A steel rail of length $5\,m$ and area of cross-section $40\,cm^2$ is prevented from expanding along its length while the temperature rises by $10\,^oC$. If coefficient of linear expansion and Young's modulus of steel are $1.2\times10^{-5}\, K^{-1}$ and $2\times10^{11}\, Nm^{-2}$ respectively, the force developed in the rail is approximately
$2\times10^7\, N$
$1\times10^5\, N$
$2\times10^9\, N$
$3\times10^{-5}\, N$
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 $2.0 \;mm$ ? Co-efficient of Itnear expansion of brass $=2.0 \times 10^{-5}\; K ^{-1} ;$ Young's modulus of brass $=0.91 \times 10^{11} \;Pa$
