A piece of metal weighs $45 \, g$ in air and $25 \, g$ in a liquid of density $1.5 \times 10^3 \, kg-m^{-3}$ kept at $30^{\circ} C$.
When the temperature of the liquid is raised to $40^{\circ}C$, the metal piece weighs $27\, g$. The density of liquid at $40^{\circ}C$ is $1.25 \times 10^3 \, kg-m^{-3}$. The coefficient of linear expansion of metal is
