$A$ metallic rod $1 \, cm$ long with a square cross-section is heated through $1^{\circ} C$. If Young's modulus of elasticity of the metal is $E$ and the mean coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha$ per degree Celsius,then the compressional force required to prevent the rod from expanding along its length is: (Neglect the change of cross-sectional area)

  • A
    $EA\alpha t$
  • B
    $EA\alpha t / (1 + \alpha t)$
  • C
    $EA\alpha t / (1 - \alpha t)$
  • D
    $E / \alpha t$
