Question

The mercury thread of a thermometer rise by 4
5
parts between two standard points on celsius scale,
when it is placed in warm water. Calculate the temperature of water in Fahrenheit scale

Answer 1

Explanation:

The temperature in Celsius scale is given as C = 4 5 × 100 = 80 ∘ C C=45×100=80∘C To find temperature in Fahrenheit scale, use the formula C 5 = F − 32 9 C5=F-329 Substituting C = 80 ∘ C Substituting C=80∘C, we get 80 5 = F − 32 9 805=F-329 ⇒ F = 32 + 16 × 9 ⇒ F=32+16×9 = 32 + 144 =32+144 Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/1165422/mercury-thread-thermometer-rises-between-standard-points-celsius-placed-water-calculate 176°f
