Question

1) thermometer has its fixed points Marked as 5&95 what is the current temperature in degree centigrade when its thermometer reads 59 degree centigrade

2) In an orbital scale of thermometer water freezes at 40 degree centigrade and Boils at 290degree centigrade find its boiling point of liquid in Orbit scale if it boils at 62^O_C

Answer 1

(1) let x be required temperature then
we know
(59-5)/(95-5)=x/(100)
x=60 degree
(2)again using above formula
find boiling point.
