A cubical solid aluminium (bulk modulus $=-V \frac{ dP }{ dV }=70 GPa$ ) block has an edge length of $1 m$ on the surface of the earth. It is kept on the floor of a $5 km$ deep ocean. Taking the average density of water and the acceleration due to gravity to be $10^3 kg m ^{-3}$ and $10 ms ^{-2}$, respectively, the change in the edge length of the block in $mm$ is . . . . .
