Question

A new temperature scale uses X as a unit of temperature, where the numerical value of the temperature tx in this scale is related to the absolute temperature T by tx = 3T + 300. If the specific heat of a material using this unit is 1400 J kg1K1 its specific heat in the S.1. system of units is :

A
4200Jkg1K1

Solution

The correct option is A 4200Jkg1K1
tx=3T+300
δ(tx)=3
Thus, for every one degree change in the SI system, there is a 3 degree change in the new system. Hence, the specific heat in SI system= 1400*3= 4200J/kgK
