A faulty thermometer has its fired points marked as `5^(@)and95^(@)`. The temperature of a body as measured by the faulty thermometer is `59^(@)`. Find the correct temperature of the body on Celsius scale.
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
Let the reading on the faulty thermometer be x and the corresponding reading on Celsius scale be C. `(x-L.F.P.)/(U.F.P.-L.F.P)=(C-0)/(100-0)" "(x-5)/(95-5)=C/100` `C=100/90(x-5)" "C=10/9(x-5)` `C=10/9(59-5)" "(becausex=59^(@))" "C=60^(@)C`
