$A$ rod $BC$ of negligible mass is fixed at end $B$ and connected to a spring at its natural length having spring constant $K = 10^4 \ N/m$ at end $C$,as shown in the figure. For the rod $BC$,length $L = 4 \ m$,area of cross-section $A = 4 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$,Young's modulus $Y = 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} \ K^{-1}$. If the rod $BC$ is cooled from temperature $100^oC$ to $0^oC$,then find the decrease in length of the rod in centimeters (closest to the integer).
