A bakelite beaker has volume capacity of 500 cc at 30°C. When it is partially filled with Vm volume (at 30°C) of mercury, it is found that the unfilled volume of the beaker remains constant as temperature is varied. If ϒ(beaker)= 6 × 10–6 °C–1 and ϒ (mercury)= 1.5 × 10–4 °C–1, where ϒ is the coefficient of volume expansion, then Vm (in cc) is close to
