The lower and upper fixed points of a fauly thermomenter ar `-2^(@)C` and `102^(@)C`, respectively. If the thermometer reads `50^(@)C` on this thermometer, find the correct temperature onn the celsium scale.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The relation to be used is
`((S-LFP)/(UFP-LFP))_("correct scale")=((S-LFP)/(UFP-LFP))_("fautly scale")implies((S-0)/(100-0))=(50-(-2))/(102-(-2))`
`(S)/(100)=(52)/(104)`
`S=(52)/(104)xx100=50^(@)C`
