A resistance thermometer reads `R=20.0Omega, 27.5 Omega,` and `50.0 Omega` at the ice point `(0^@C)`, the steam point `(100^@C)` and the zinc point `(420^@C)` respectively. Assuming that the resistance varies with temperature as `R_Theta=R_0(1+alphaTheta+betaTheta^2)` , find the values of `R_0`, `alpha` and `beta`. Here `Theta` represents the temperature on Celsius scale.
