Can you explain it? Thank you!
A ship is filled with 5 × 105 m3 of gasoline
at a refinery in southern California when the temperature is 27.2
°C. When the ship arrives in NYC, the temperature is -3 °C. If the
coefficient of volumetric expansion for gasoline is 9.50 ×
10–4/C°, how much has the volume of the gasoline
decreased when it is unloaded in NYC?
The condition for this question is temperature of surrounding (either 27.2°C or -3°C) should be equal to gasoline temperature.
