At the top of a mountain a thermometer reads 7^(0)C and barometer reads 70 cm of Hg . At the bottom of the mountain the barometer reads 76 cm of Hg and thermometer reads 27^(0)C . The density of air at the top of mountain is "_" times the density at the bottom.

A thermometer reading 80^@F is taken outside. Five minutes later the thermometer reads 60^@F . After another 5 minutes the thermometer reads 50^@F . What is the temperature outside?

The electrical resistance of pure platinum increases linearly with increasing temperature over a small range of temperature . This property is used in a Platinum resistance thermometer. The relation between R_(theta) (Resistance at theta K) and R_(0) (Resistance at theta_(0)K ) is given by R_(theta)=R_(0)[1+a(theta-theta_(0))] , where alpha= temperature coefficient of resistance. Now, if a Platinum resistance thermometer reads 0^(@)C when its resistance is 80Omega and 100^(@)C when its resistance is 90 Omega find the temperature at which its resistance is 86Omega .
