In a new scale of temperature the lower ...

In a new scale of temperature the lower fixed point is marked as 0 corresponding to the melting point of a substance which is equal to `25^(@)C` and the upper fixed point is marked corresponding to the boiling point of a substance which is equal to `75^(@)C` The total length of the scale between the UFP and LFP is divided into 200 equal parts. Determine the temperature in the new scale when the temperature of a substance measured by a celsius scale thermometer is `50^(@)C`

To solve the problem, we need to convert the temperature from the Celsius scale to the new temperature scale defined by the given fixed points. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the fixed points - The lower fixed point (LFP) is at the melting point of a substance, which corresponds to \( 25^\circ C \) and is marked as \( 0 \) in the new scale. - The upper fixed point (UFP) is at the boiling point of a substance, which corresponds to \( 75^\circ C \) and is marked as \( 200 \) in the new scale. ### Step 2: Calculate the range of the new scale - The range of the new scale is the difference between the UFP and LFP: ...
