Question

A new temperature scale uses X as a unit of temperature, where the numerical value of the temperature $t_{x}$ in this scale is related to the absolute temperature $T$ by $t_{x} = 3 T + 300$ . If the specific heat of a material using this unit is $1400 J k g^{- 1} K^{- 1}$ its specific heat in the S.I. system of units is :

4200 J k g^{- 1} K^{- 1}

Solution

The correct option is A $4200 J k g^{- 1} K^{- 1}$
$t_{x} = 3 T + 00$
If in SI system the temperature has to be changed by one unit then in the given side the temperature has to be changed by three units .
Thus the specific heat which is the heat required to change the temperature of the body by $1$ unit will be changed on the other side by $3$ units.
So specific heat in SI scale $= 3 (1400) = 4200 J / K g K$
