Question 464: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

A thermometer graduated according to a linear scale reads a value x0 when in contact with boiling water, and x0/3 when in contact with ice. What is the temperature of an object in oC, if this thermometer in the contact with the object reads x0/2 ?

Accepted Answer

$$ \Rightarrow $$   T
o
C = $${{{x_0}} \over 6}$$  &  $$\left( {{x_0} - {{{x_0}} \over 3}} \right)$$ = (100 $$-$$ 0
