You have a stool with four legs, two are Aluminum, two are steel. All legs are identical in geometry (area/length). If you continiously heat up this stool, how will the load share change over as time goes on?

If I have a solid rod and hollow rod with the same mass and I let them roll down a ramp, which one reaches the bottom first and why?

You have a stool with four legs identical in size. Two legs are made from aluminum, while the other legs are made from steel. If a load is placed on the stool's seat, will the legs take equal load or not?
