Answer

$V_{spill out}=0.26 cm^3$

Work Step by Step

Co-efficient of volume expansion for aluminium cup $\gamma_{Al}=3(\alpha_{Al})=3(23\times 10^{-6})=6.9\times10^{-5}K^{-1}$ so increase in the volume of cup is $\Delta{V_{Al}}=\gamma_{Al}V_{\circ}\Delta{T}$ put the values $\Delta{V_{Al}}=(6.9\times10^{-5})(100\times10^{-6})(6)$ $\Delta{V_{Al}}=4.14\times10^{-8}m^3$ Now we find the increase in the volume of the glycerin $\Delta{V_{glycerin}}=\gamma_{glycerin}V_{\circ}\Delta{T}=5.1\times10^{-4}(100\times10^{-6})(6)$ $\Delta{V_{glycerin}}=3.06\times10^{-7} m^3$ For the volume of the glycerin that spills out $V_{spill out}=\Delta{V_{glycerin}}-\Delta{V_{Al}}$ putting the values, we get $V_{spill out}= 3.06\times10^{-7}-4.14\times10^{-8}$ $V_{spill out}=2.65\times10^{-7}m^3$ or $V_{spill out}=0.26 cm^3$
