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