CBSEENPH11020745

On a new scale of temperature (which is linear), an called the W scale, the freezing and boiling point of water are 39o W and 239o W respectively. what will be the temperature of 39o C  celsius scale?

  • 78o W

  • 117o C

  • 200o C

  • 139o

Solution

B.

117o C

In general, whenever we are to go from any known scale to any unknown scale, then we follow the equation
(temperature on known scale) - (LFP for known scale)
______________________________________________
(UFP - LFP ) Known (temerature on unknown scale)
= - (LEP for unknown scale)
________________________________________
(UFP-LFP) unknown
or fraction numerator 390 minus 0 over denominator 100 minus 0 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator t minus 39 over denominator 239 minus 39 end fraction 
t= 117o W
LFP = Lower fixed point
UFP  = Upper fixed point
