$\mathrm{T}_{1}=\mathrm{k}\left(\ell_{1}-\ell_{0}\right)$         $...(1)$

$\mathrm{T}_{2}=\mathrm{k}\left(\ell_{2}-\ell_{0}\right)$           $...(2)$

$\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}}{\mathrm{T}_{2}}=\frac{\ell_{1}-\ell_{0}}{\ell_{2}-\ell_{0}}$

$\mathrm{T}_{1} \ell_{2}-\mathrm{T}_{1} \ell_{0}=\mathrm{T}_{2} \ell_{1}-\mathrm{T}_{2} \ell_{0}$

$\ell_{0}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1} \ell_{2}-\mathrm{T}_{2} \ell_{1}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}-\mathrm{T}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2} \ell_{1}-\mathrm{T}_{1} \ell_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{2}-\mathrm{T}_{1}}$
