A brass wire \(1.8\) m long at \(27\) °C is held taut with a little tension between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled to a temperature of\(-39\) °C, what is the tension created in a wire with a diameter of \(2.0\) mm? (coefficient of linear expansion of brass \(=2.0 \times10^{-5}\) K–1, Young's modulus of brass\(=0.91 \times10^{11}\) Pa)
1. \(3.8 \times 10^3\) N
2. \(3.8 \times 10^2\) N
3. \(2.9 \times 10^{-2}\) N
4. \(2.9 \times 10^{2}\) N
