A glass contains some water at room temperature `20^(@)C`.Refrigerated water is added to it slowly. When the temperature of the glass reaches `10^(@)C,` small droplets condense on the outer surface. Calculate the relative humidity in the room. The boiling point of water at a pressure of 17.5mm of mercury is `20^(@)C` and at 8.9mm of mercury is `10^(@)C`.

To solve the problem of calculating the relative humidity in the room, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - The temperature of the water in the glass is initially at \(20^\circ C\). - Refrigerated water is added until the temperature of the glass reaches \(10^\circ C\). - At \(20^\circ C\), the saturation vapor pressure (SVP) is \(17.5 \, \text{mm Hg}\). - At \(10^\circ C\), the saturation vapor pressure is \(8.9 \, \text{mm Hg}\). ...
