The apparent coefficient of cubical expansion of a liquid is γa=4.0×10−4 K−1\gamma_a = 4.0\times10^{-4}\,\text{K}^{-1} when the liquid is heated in a glass flask whose coefficient of cubical expansion is γglass=9.0×10−6 K−1\gamma_{\text{glass}} = 9.0\times10^{-6}\,\text{K}^{-1}. Calculate the real coefficient of cubical expansion of the liquid.
