If $\rho$ is the density of the material of a wire and $\sigma$ is the breaking stress, what is the greatest length of the wire that can hang freely without breaking?

$A$ rod of length $L$ at room temperature and uniform area of cross section $A$ is made of a metal having a coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha /^{\circ}C$. It is observed that an external compressive force $F$,applied on each of its ends,prevents any change in the length of the rod when its temperature rises by $\Delta T \, K$. The Young's modulus $Y$ for this metal is:
