We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains, say $10\, cm$ We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remain constant. If  ${\alpha _{iron}}$ $= 1.2 \times 10^{-5}\,K^{-1}$ and ${\alpha _{brass}}$ $= 1.8 \times 10^{-5}\,K^{-1}$ what should we take as length of each strip ?
