$A$ steel wire of length $L$ at $40^{\circ} C$ is suspended from the ceiling and then a mass $m$ is hung from its free end. The wire is cooled down from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ to regain its original length $L$. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the steel is $\alpha = 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$,Young's modulus of steel is $Y = 10^{11} N/m^2$,and the radius of the wire is $r = 1 \ mm$. Assume that $L \gg$ diameter of the wire. Then the value of $m$ in $kg$ is nearly:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $6$
