Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length, same area of cross-section having the same Young’s modulus are heated to the same range of temperature. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $A$ is $3/2$ times of that of wire $B$. The ratio of the forces produced in two wires will be

(d) $F = YA\alpha\mathrm{\Delta}	heta$
If $Y,A$ and $\mathrm{\Delta}	heta$ are constant then $\frac{F_{A}}{F_{B}} = \frac{\alpha_{A}}{\alpha_{B}} = \frac{3}{2}$
