A steel wire of length LAB is stretched between rigid supports. The initial prestress in the wires is 45 MPa (tension) when the temperature is 25 degrees celsius. Assume alpha (a) = 15 * 10-6/degreesC and E= 200 GPa. a) What is the stress in the wire when the temperature drops to 0 degrees celcius? Is it in tension or compression? b) At what temperature T will the stress in the wire become
