The pressure that needs to be applied to the ends of a steel wire of length \(20~\text{cm}\) and area of cross-section \(0.5~\text m^2\) to keep its length constant when the temperature is raised by \(200^\circ \text{C}\) is:
(Young's modulus of elasticity \((Y)\) for steel is \(2\times10^{11}\) N/m2 and the coefficient of thermal expansion \((\alpha)\) is \(1.1\times10^{-5}\) K-1)
1. \(3.2 \times 10^6~\text{Pa}\) 2. \(2.2 \times 10^8~\text{Pa}\)
3. \(4.4 \times 10^8~\text{Pa}\) 4. \(2.2 \times 10^9~\text{Pa}\)

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\(=0.91 \times10^{11}~\text{Pa}\) )

2. \(3.8 \times 10^2~\text N\) 
3. \(2.9 \times 10^{-2}~\text N\) 
4. \(2.9 \times 10^{2}~\text N\)
