Answer:

  • The aluminum rod will never touch the floor since both the frame and the rod expand at the same rate

  • The lead rod will touch the floor if both frame and rod are heated long enough since the coefficient of linear expansion of lead is greater than the coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum
