$A$ uniform cylindrical rod of length $L$ and radius $r$ is made from a material whose Young's modulus of elasticity equals $Y$. When this rod is heated by temperature $T$ and simultaneously subjected to a net longitudinal compressional force $F$,its length remains unchanged. The coefficient of volume expansion of the material of the rod is (nearly) equal to:

  • A
    $9F / (\pi r^2 YT)$
  • B
    $F / (3\pi r^2 YT)$
  • C
    $3F / (\pi r^2 YT)$
  • D
    $6F / (\pi r^2 YT)$
