$A$ steel meter scale is to be ruled so that millimeter intervals are accurate within about $5 \times 10^{-5} \,m$ at a certain temperature. The maximum temperature variation allowable during the ruling is (Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $= 10 \times 10^{-6} \,K^{-1}$) (in $^{\circ} C$)

Two rods,one of aluminum and another of steel,have initial lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ respectively. They are joined together to form a single rod of length $(l_1 + l_2)$. If the coefficients of linear expansion for aluminum and steel are $\alpha_a$ and $\alpha_s$ respectively,and the increase in length for both rods is the same when the temperature of both is increased by $t \ ^\circ C$,then $\frac{l_1}{l_1 + l_2} = \dots$
