The temperature of a metal strip having coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha$ is increased from $T_1$ to $T_2$ resulting in increase of its length by $\Delta L_1$. The temperature is further increased from $T_2$ to $T_3$ such that the increase in its length is $\Delta L_2$. Given $T_3+T_1=2T_2$ and $T_2-T_1=\Delta T$, the value of $\Delta L_2$ is ______.

An ideal gas undergoes a process maintaining relation between pressure $(P)$ and volume $(V)$ as $P = P_o\left(1 + \left(\dfrac{V_o}{V}\right)^2\right)^{-1}$, where $P_o$ and $V_o$ are constants. If two samples $A$ and $B$ (two moles each) with initial volumes $V_o$ and $3V_o$ respectively undergo above mentioned process and attain same pressure, then the difference at the temperatures of these samples, $T_B - T_A$ is _____. ($R = $ gas constant)
