A platinum resistance thermometer is constructed which reads 0^(@) C at ice point and 100^(@) C at steam point. The resistance of platinum coil varies with t as R_(1) = R_(0) (1+ alpha t + beta t^(2) ) . If t_(p) denotes temperature on the platinum resistance thermometer and t denotes temperature on mercury scale. Then resistance as the function of t_(p) will be:

The electrical resistance in ohms of a certain thermometer varies with temperature according to the approximate law: R = R_(0) [1 + alpha (T - T_(0))] The resistance is 101.6 Omega at the triple-point of water 273.16 K , " and " 165.5 Omega at the normal melting point of lead (600.5 K) . What is the temperature when the resistance is 123.4 Omega ?
