CBSEENPH11019284

Two rods of length L1 and L2 of materials having temperature coefficient of linear expansions α1 and α2, are placed parallel to each other. What is the relation between their lengths, so that the difference in the length of two rods is independent of temnerature?

Solution

The length of the rods is independent of the temperature. 
The relation between the length of the rods is given by, 
                           straight L subscript 1 over straight L subscript 2 equals straight alpha subscript 2 over straight alpha subscript 1
