The electrical resistance in ohms of a certain thermometer varies with temperature ac cording to the approximate law: `R =R_(0)[1+alpha(T-T_(0))]`
The resistances is `101.6 Omega` at the triple-point of water `273.16K`, and `165.5 Omega` at the normal melting point of lead `(600.5K)`. What is the temperature when the resistance is `123.4 Omega`?
