Question

the faulty termometer reads 5°c melting ice and 99°c in steam. fi d the correct temperature in °F when thefaulty termometer reads 52°c​

Answer 1

Answer:

Putting TC=50∘C, we get TF=122∘F.

Explanation:

If a thermometer is wrong calibrated then,

If X the temperature reading on the faulty thermometer scale then,

t=

(UFP−LFP)

(X−LFP)

×100. Where, t=actual reading.

Now, it reads 99

∘

C(UFP) in dry steam and 5

o

C(LFP). So, using formula we can get the actual temperature for 50

∘

C

Using,

5

C

=

9

F−32

reading is actually 50

∘

C=122

F

Answer 2

Answer:

Putting TC=50∘C, we get TF=122∘F.
