Question 409: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

A thermometer graduated according to a linear scale reads a value x
0
when in contact with boiling water, and x
0
/3 when in contact with ice. What is the temperature of an object in
o
C, if this thermometer in the contact with the object reads x
0
/2 ?

Accepted Answer

$$ \Rightarrow $$   T
o
C = $${{{x_0}} \over 6}$$  &  $$\left( {{x_0} - {{{x_0}} \over 3}} \right)$$ = (100 $$-$$ 0
o
C)
x
0
= $${{300} \over 2}$$
$$ \Rightarrow $$  T
o
C = $${{150} \over 6}$$ = 25
