1618. A tank is loaded with 9,000 barrels of gasoline. The temperature of the product is 80°F (27°C), and it has a coefficient of expansion of .0008. The net amount of cargo loaded is __________.

The net amount of cargo at 60F is calculated by correcting for the gasoline's contraction as it cools from 80F. This is done by subtracting the volume change, determined by the coefficient of expansion and the temperature difference, from the initial volume of 9,000 barrels, resulting in a net amount of 8,856 barrels.
