The mercury thread of a thermometer rise...

The mercury thread of a thermometer rises by `4//5` parts between two standard points on Celsius scale, when it is placed in warm water. Calculate the temperature of water in Fahrenheit scale.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The temperature in Celsius scale is given as
`C=(4)/(5)xx100=80^(@)C`
To find temperature in Fahrenheit scale, use the formula
`(C)/(5)=(F-32)/(9)`
`"Substituting "C=80^(@)C`, we get
`(80)/(5)=(F-32)/(9)`
`rArr" "F=32+16xx9`
`=32+144`
`=176^(@)F`
