Answer» The difference in length is `l=l_(1)-l_(2)` (assuming that `l_(1)gtl_(2)`) As l is independent of temperature `(Deltal)/(DeltaT)=0` `implies(Deltal_(1))/(DeltaT)-(Deltal_(2))/(DeltaT)=0` As we know that `Deltal=lalphaDeltaT` `implies(Deltal)/(DeltaT)=lalpha` So, we get `l_(1)alpha_(1)-l_(2)alpha_(2)=0` or `l_(1)alpha_(1)=l_(2)alpha_(2)` this is the desired result.
