What force is required to increase the length of a wire of diameter $4 \, mm$ and Young's modulus $9 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$ by $0.1\%$?

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 $\alpha_1 : \alpha_2 = 2 : 3$,and the thermal stresses developed in the two rods are equal,then the ratio $Y_1 : Y_2$ is equal to:
