Question

upper fixed point and lower fixed point of a faulty thermometer are 110 degree centigrade and -5 degree centigrade respectively if this thermometer is used to temperature measure the temperature of the liquid whose actual temperature is 50 degree centigrade reading on the thermometer will be​

Answer 1

Answer:48.83°C

Explanation:

Faulty thermometer

S1=50°C

L1=-5°C

U1=110°C

Correct thermometer

S2=x

L2=o°C

U2=100°C

Now,

S1-L1/U1-L1=S2-L2/U2-L2

50+5/110+5=x-o/100-0

x=48.83°C
