    Two rods of different materials having coefficients of linear expansion ${\alpha _1},\,{\alpha _2}$ and Young's moduli ${Y_1}$ and ${Y_2}$ respectively are fixed between two rigid massive walls. The rods are heated such that they undergo the same increase in temperature. There is no bending of rods. If ${\alpha _1}:{\alpha _2} = 2:3$, the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equally provided ${Y_1}:{Y_2}$ is equal to
