Two rods of different materials have lengths $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$ whose coefficients of linear expansion are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ respectively. If the difference between the two lengths is independent of temperature,then:

  • A
    $\alpha_1^2 \ell_1 = \alpha_2^2 \ell_2$
  • B
    $\frac{\ell_1}{\ell_2} = \frac{\alpha_2}{\alpha_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{\ell_1}{\ell_2} = \frac{\alpha_1}{\alpha_2}$
  • D
    $\ell_1^2 \alpha_2 = \ell_2^2 \alpha_1$

The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in an increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3 + T_1 = 2T_2$ and $T_2 - T_1 = \Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is . . . . . . .
