A unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains \(20\) cm, using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron, each of different lengths. The length of both components would change in such a way that the difference between their lengths remains constant. If the length of the brass is \(40\) cm, then the length of the iron will be:
\(\left(\alpha_{\text {iron }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5}~ \text{K}^{-1} \text { and } \alpha_{\text {brass }}=1.8 \times 10^{-5} ~\text{K}^{-1}\right)\).
