Detailed Solution

Water has minimum volume at 40C. The coefficient of real expansion of a liquid is 7.52×10-4/∘C and the coefficient of apparent expansion of the liquid is 7.25×10-4/∘C . they are very close , the difference can taken as zero.

γ=VV×tV=t

V=mρ×γ×t

At 40C density is maximum V is minimum close to 0. Hence γ is close to 0.
