A compressive force, $F$ is applied at the two ends of a long thin steel rod. It is heated, simultaneously, such that its temperature increases by $\Delta T$. The net change in its length is zero. Let $l$ be the length of the rod, $A$ its area of cross- section, $Y$ its Young's modulus, and $\alpha $ its coefficient of linear expansion. Then, $F$ is equal to

Due to thermal exp., change in length $\left( {\Delta l} \right)$

$ = l\alpha \Delta T$                          $...(i)$

$Young's\,modulus (Y)$

$ = \frac{{Normal\,stress}}{{Longitudinal\,strain}}$

$Y = \frac{{F/A}}{{\Delta l/l}} \Rightarrow \frac{{\Delta l}}{l} = \frac{F}{{AY}}$

$\Delta l = \frac{{Fl}}{{AY}}$

$From\,e{q^n}(i),\,\frac{{Fl}}{{AY}} = l\,\alpha \,\Delta T$

$F = AY\,\alpha \,\Delta T$

    Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.

    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.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
