b)Early in the morning, when the temperature is 5.0°C, gasoline ispumped into a car's 61 L steel gas tank until it is filled to thetop. Later in the day the temperature rises to 29°C. Since thevolume of gasoline increases more for a given temperature increasethan the volume of the steel tank, gasoline will spill out of thetank. How much gasoline spills out in this case?
