$ = l\alpha \Delta T$ $...(i)$
$Young's\,modulus (Y)$
$ = \frac{{Normal\,stress}}{{Longitudinal\,strain}}$
$Y = \frac{{F/A}}{{\Delta l/l}} \Rightarrow \frac{{\Delta l}}{l} = \frac{F}{{AY}}$
$\Delta l = \frac{{Fl}}{{AY}}$
$From\,e{q^n}(i),\,\frac{{Fl}}{{AY}} = l\,\alpha \,\Delta T$
$F = AY\,\alpha \,\Delta T$

Assertion $(A)$:The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.
Reason $(R)$:A coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.
