When a liquid is heated in a copper vessel, its coefficient of apparent expansion is $6 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. When the same liquid is heated in a steel vessel, its coefficient of apparent expansion is $24 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$. If the coefficient of linear expansion for copper is $18 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} C$, find the coefficient of linear expansion for steel.
