A brass wire 1.8 m long at 27°C is held taut with little tension between the two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled to a temperature of -39°C , the tension developed in the wire, if its diameter is 2.0 mm, Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = 2.0×10-5K-1 ; Young’s modulus of brass = 0.91×1011Pa
