A one-dimensional chain consists of a set of N rods each of length a. When stretched by a load, each rod can align either parallel or perpendicular to the length of the chain. The energy of a rod is -ɛ when perpendicular to it. When the chain is in thermal equilibrium at temperature T, its average length is
