A constant volume gas thermometer shows pressure readings of 50 cm and 90 cm of mercury at `0^(@)Cand100^(@)C` respectively. What is the temperature on gas scale when the pressure reading is 60 cm of mercury ?

Verified by Experts

Given that `P_(0) = 50` cm of Hg
`p_(100) = 90 ` cm of He P = 60 cm of Hg t = ?
`t_(C) = (P - P_(0))/(P_(100) - P_(0)) xx 100^(0 ) C `
so `t_(C) = (60 - 50)/(90 - 50) xx 100^(0) C = 26^(0) C `
