The apparent coefficient of cubical expansion of a liquid is

\gamma_a = 4.0\times10^{-4}\,\text{K}^{-1}

when the liquid is heated in a glass flask whose coefficient of cubical expansion is

\gamma_{\text{glass}} = 9.0\times10^{-6}\,\text{K}^{-1}

. Calculate the real coefficient of cubical expansion of the liquid.
