AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the temperature of the liquid bath based on the change in resistance of a silver wire. We will use the formula that relates resistance and temperature. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Initial resistance, \( R_0 = 1.0 \, \Omega \) (at \( T_0 = 20^\circ C \)) - Final resistance, \( R_T = 1.2 \, \Omega \) - Temperature coefficient of resistance for silver, \( \alpha = 3.8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{°C}^{-1} \) ...
