To solve the problem, we need to determine the actual temperature based on the readings of a faulty thermometer. Here is a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the fixed points of the faulty thermometer The upper fixed point of the faulty thermometer is given as \( 105^\circ C \) and the lower fixed point is \( 5^\circ C \). ### Step 2: Determine the range of the faulty thermometer The range of the faulty thermometer is from \( 5^\circ C \) to \( 105^\circ C \). This means the thermometer can measure temperatures within this range. ...
