The coefficients of thermal expansion of steel and a metal $X$ are respectively $12 × 10^{-6}$ and $2 × 10^{-6} per^o C$. At $40^o C$, the side of a cube of metal $X$ was measured using a steel vernier callipers. The reading was $100 \,\,mm$.Assuming that the calibration of the vernier was done at $0^o C$, then the actual length of the side of the cube at $0^o C$ will be
