Question

A faulty thermometer has its fixed points measured 5 degree and 90 degree . This thermometer reads the tempreture of a body as 59 degree . Then , the correct tempreture of the body on the calsius scale is :

Answer 1

Here faulty reading (x)=59

Lower fixed point of faulty readind (L.F.P)=5

Upper fixed point of faulty reading (U.F.P.)=95

Fundamental interval (F.I.)=95-5=90

Correct reading(C)=?

c/100*(x-L.F.P)/F.I.

C/100=54/90=0.6

C=0.6*100=60 celsius scale
