Suppose due to a bad break of your femur, you require the insertion of a titanium rod to help the fracture heal. The coefficient of linear expansion for titanium is a 8.60-106 K, and the length of the rod when it is in equilibrium with the leg bone and muscle at 370°C is 5.10 cm. How much shorter was the rod at room temperature (20.0°C)? um
