Initial data: m (mass of a can with gasoline) = 2 kg; mk (empty canister weight) = 600 g (0.6 kg).

Reference data: ρb (gasoline density) = 710 kg / m3.

1) The mass of gasoline in the canister: mb = m – mk = 2 – 0.6 = 1.4 kg.

2) The volume of gasoline poured into the canister: V = mb / ρb = 1.4 / 710 = 0.00197 m3 (1.97 l).

Answer: 1.97 liters of gasoline were poured into the canister.
