A steel wire AB is stretched between rigid supports (see figure). The initial prestress in the wire

Question:

A steel wire AB is stretched between rigid supports (see figure). The initial prestress in the wire is 42 MPa when the temperature is 20°C.
(a) What is the stress σ in the wire when the temperature drops to 0°C?
(b) At what temperature T will the stress in the wire become zero? (Assume α = 14 106 / °C and E = 200 GPa.)
