Question

a faulty thermometer reads 0.5 degree at the ice point and 105.5 degree at the steam point. Find the correct temperature in Celsius scale when this faulty thermometer reads 52.5 degree Celsius ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given A faulty thermometer reads 0.5 degree at the ice point and 105.5 degree at the steam point . Find the correct temperature in Celsius scale when this faulty thermometer reads 52.5 degree Celsius ​

• Now relation between both the thermometer is given as
• C – 0 / 100 – 0 = x – z / y – z
• Where z is the ice point on new scale and y is the steam point.
• So z = 0.5 degree Celsius and y = 105.5 degree Celsius and C = 52.5 degree Celsius.
• So 52.5 / 100 = x – 0.5 / 105.5 – 0.5
•  So x – 0.5 = 55.125  
• Or x = 55.625 degree Celsius.
