A planar frame is made of thin uniform rods. The length of section AB and EF is
and its coefficient of linear expansion is
. The length of section CD is
and its coefficient of linear expansion is
. CB and DE are of the same length having coefficient of linear expansion
Points A, B, E and F reside on same line, that is, sections AB and EF overlap. Then the ratio
for which the distance between end A and end F remains the same at all temperatures is
then find the value of n.
