A) \[78{}^\circ \,W\]
B) \[117{}^\circ \,W\]
C) \[200{}^\circ \,W\]
D) \[139{}^\circ \,W\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
In general, whenever we are to go from any known scale to any unknown scale, then we follow the equation |
(Temperature on known scale) |
\[\frac{-\text{(LFP}\,\text{for}\,\text{known}\,\text{scale)}}{{{\text{(UFP}-\text{LFP)}}_{\text{known}}}}\] |
(Temperature on unknown scale) |
\[\text{=}\frac{-\text{(LFP}\,\text{for}\,\,\text{unknown}\,\text{scale)}}{{{\text{(UFP}-\text{LFP)}}_{\text{known}}}}\] |
or \[\frac{39-0}{100-0}=\frac{t-39}{239-39}\] or \[t={{117}^{o}}W\] |
Note: LFP \[\to \]Lower fixed point |
UFP\[\to \] Upper fixed point |
Alternative: |
\[\begin{matrix} \text{10}{{\text{0}}^{\text{o}}}\text{C} \\ {} \\ {{\text{0}}^{\text{o}}}\text{C} \\ \end{matrix}\underline{\overline{\underset{\downarrow}{\overset{\uparrow }{\mathop{100}}}\,\text{division}\underset{\downarrow }{\overset{\uparrow }{\mathop{200}}}\,}}\,\begin{matrix} \begin{align} & \text{Now}\,\text{scale} \\ & \text{23}{{\text{9}}^{\text{o}}}\text{W} \\ \end{align} \\ \text{divisions} \\ \text{3}{{\text{9}}^{\text{o}}}\text{W} \\ \end{matrix}\] |
\[\therefore \] \[{{39}^{o}}C=39\times 2+39={{(78+39)}^{o}}W\] |
\[={{117}^{o}}W\] |
