To find the temperature of the bath in degrees Celsius using the resistance of a platinum resistance thermometer, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between resistance and temperature The resistance of a platinum thermometer at the triple point of water (0°C) is known, and we can use the formula that relates resistance to temperature. The formula is given by: \[ T = T_k \cdot \frac{R - R_0}{R_t - R_0} \] ...
