$A$ steel wire of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$ is suspended from a rigid support. If $Y$ is the Young's modulus of the material of the wire and $\alpha$ is the coefficient of linear expansion,then the increase in tension when the temperature falls by $t^{\circ} C$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{YA}{\alpha t}$
  • B
    $YA \alpha t$
  • C
    $Y \alpha t$
  • D
    $\frac{L \alpha t}{Y}$
