Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same length,same area of cross-section,and having the same Young's modulus are heated to the same temperature range. If the coefficient of linear expansion of wire $A$ is $3/2$ times that of wire $B$,what is the ratio of the thermal forces produced in the two wires?

  • A
    $2/3$
  • B
    $9/4$
  • C
    $4/9$
  • D
    $3/2$
