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