1.)An aluminum tank with a volume of 1000 liters is filled with gasoline. Both are at a temperature of 12°C. The tank is transported to a place where the temperature is 37° and, due to the difference between the volumetric expansion coefficients of the metal and the liquid, the ebb of the tank. Assuming the tank expands like a massive volume of aluminum, how many liters of gasoline overflow from the tank? Data: βaluminum=7*10-5/ºC and βgas=9.5*10-4/ºC
