A faulty thermometer reads 5^@ C melting...

A faulty thermometer reads `5^@ C` melting ice and `99^@ C` in steam. Find the correct temperature in `.^(@) F` when this faulty thermometer reads `52^@ C`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The lowest and the highest points for this faulty thermometer are `5^@C` and `99^@C`.
As `(t_C - 5)/(99-5) = (t_F - 32)/(180) , (52 - 5)/(94) = (t_F - 32)/(180)`
` t_F = 122^@F`
